ah

Hank gives over his patents in ASII. so it's dealt with-I wanted that in the trailer.

maybe there can be a patent snippet in part 3... it would tie in with the motor of the world and why Galt took it with him.

Absolutely. I say it to people occasionally and it seems everyone can relate to it.

That's the part I was talking about. People get that.

just so, spin

When you walked into the lobby of a microwave company I worked at for 20 years there were five patents framed on the wall. They were for the microwave circuits invented by the founders of the company. Without the patents the company would have folded in a minute.

I think you should make a trailer for part 3. Throw down the gauntlet for a contest.

His statement, as I saw it in the trailer, was incomplete. The real impact is in his statement, 'The government takes what it wants and taxes the rest.' That is what resonated most for me.

Dannegars statement is so powerful. People can understand that. I've used it in conversations and I always get agreement. This is a great trailer.

It is great...
except-why the hell are they fixated on copyrights in the trailer and ignore PATENTS! which right is more essential to our economic well-being?!
sigh

Because Hollywood is concentrated on a product that is copyrighted - the rest of us live where patents are far more relevant. Different forms of creativity require different protections and at times one side may forget the other side lives in a different world.

Because people have little concept of the difference, unfortunately, and the goal of this is to make people recognize gov intrusion and intervention in private business. :) (I know it was a rhetorical question...sometimes I like to answer those anyway. God I'm annoying.)

I missed that Kh. Thanks.
