Comparing Technology Property Rights to Copyright

All literate people are copyright holders, whether they are aware of it or not.  The vast majority of copyright holders would be willing to waive their rights, assuming they are even aware they are a copyright holder.  The fact that a majority have no interest in exercising their copyright is not an excuse to abolish copyright.

The same is true of technology property rights.  Most have no interest in exercising their right to make their own software choices, but this is not a valid excuse to abolish this right.
