"HE has short hair and a long brown beard. He is wearing a three-piece suit. One imagines him slumped over his desk, giggling helplessly.

Right.
People develop games for money or personal satisfaction (aka fame). There is nothing wrong with this business model. Use it as you may.
This is not some apocalyptic event. It is capitalism at its best. Does anyone think this concept could be stopped? Doubt it.
So, yes, calm the fuck down.
Jimi Hendrix covered Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band the day after it was released. They didn't sue. It's about performance. I can play music in my head - should I be charged?

"The disparate nature of the databases"?!? c'mon. Google and I can rip through these so-called databases in moments. They are already privy to all information about pretty much anything you buy, sell, or steal. I'm watching your every move.
I'm appalled at the uses of the terms "cunt" "pussies" and other parts of the comments on this post. It makes me wonder how many women read slashdot and how fucking offended they must be. If you want to be taken seriously by the whole community (including the women), at least don't lower yourself to frat-boy style commentary.

It's savvy, not savy. Did you text in that comment?

Sure, we can mash up some circuit boards and make something. Burning them is silly. I would rather smoke crack than PVC.
I don't think that slashdot is a forum for perpetual motion debate. If you like physics, read the journals.
