It also brings into question (well, it adds to the questions, they were already brought up) the whole premise of IP law that "if we don't protect it properly, no one will want to invent things". It seems to me like people like creating things and humanity has a strange habit of converging on new inventions from multiple directions. Kinda like how calculus was invented by two different people at the same time.
