But if these actions are found to be within legal limits what can be done?
I must admint that a company that does not invest in it's own R&D is one
that will fail... and lose (at least my) respect.
Monopoly game --- 500 million have played, inventor became millionare.
Except -- the inventor stole and patented the game from public domain.
Zero R&D; even a mispelling was copied to the patented game.
And the game was not sold cheap like the Behringers.
(Hasbro still repeats the wrong history of the game at their webpages.
Monopoly aged to 70 a few weeks ago and we all heard the wrong history.
I got interested in because I wondered why I have not seen any similar
games in the shops -- cheaper clone games, say.
But check Atlantik for open source computer game.
I'm still looking for print-your-own-Monopoly PDF files or such.)
