Should IF be Shamed to award a pirating work?

For everyone wanting the old days of the Core boards back: enjoy!

James: I know how you feel too. I pitched ideas numerous times, never got it passed stage one and then saw it on the market 3-5 years later. Unfortunately, that’s life.

Do you have a patent? Post your patent #. Is it in China only? If it is, Europeans and Americans are within their rights to copy your design without punishment. Even more so, because it’s been in the public domain for (at least) five years.

Lastly, did you have an experienced translator go over your entry to IF? I work in a second language. It’s difficult! For really important things, like my C.V., I always have a couple of native speakers go over it before I send it. Maybe that was your problem here. I have to say, after re-reading your posts and your blog links, I still don’t understand exactly what you are complaining about.

P.S. Settle down. No one came here to attack you.
