So, if only they had thought of copyrighting those lathes, then...
Anyway, don't take my example to the letter. It was meant to make a larger
point.

"There is little question"? In an age like ours where practically everything
is done via computers, then, we are all working for the software
manufacturers? All we do belongs to them? The images I work on in Photoshop?
The emails I send? The brochures I lay out in InDesign? Is that the essence
of your remark?
That sounds more like an Orwellian nightmare than what we as free citizens
of western-style democracies should agree to live in.
