Crowdfunding Backer Patented My Project (2018)

The immorality of this makes me a little crazy. I feel like a flatlander being shown the third dimension. I get a (very) mild panic attack.

My first thought is, "well maybe she (the evil patent person) really needed the money".

My second thought is, "Maybe the monetary prospects were just so awesome that it overrode her sense of decency".

And then, after reflecting, the list of things that I would not suck for a million dollars is darn short. So hmm. Am I evil? Maybe.

I blame capitalism.

One of the positive things about capitalism is that's actually viable way to make a million dollars if you'd like. Choice is yours my friend.

How is being able to make a million dollars by outright patent fraud a positive aspect of capatalism?
