To: Golden Eagle
Golden Eagle: I remain a supporter of Apple Inc, especially their intellectal property including patents, something that antiRepublican strongly opposes.

antiRepublican: Yet again, a lie. Isn't there a board dedicated to libel that you can join? You may feel more welcome there.

Of course, you're the one lying, here's another one of your own quotes showing your disdain for "intellectual property", and I already showed above where you are opposed to software patents, not that that's any secret either despite your pathetic attempt to now deny it LMAO:

"Intellectual Property" is a fiction and the term shouldn't be used. - as stated by antiRepublican

To: Golden Eagle; antiRepublicrat
How about putting it into context... in context, I understand exactly what Antirepublicrat meant.

"Intellectual Property" is a fiction and the term shouldn't be used. It helps perpetuate the confusion we see these days, where people don't know the difference between patent, copyright and trademark. The big difference here is that copyright doesn't require that the work be non-obvious, just original, so of course any original software can be copyrighted.
The sentences qualifying the original sentence limit and explain his position.
