“Creativity is just connecting things.
When you ask a creative person how they did something, they may feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.”
Steve Jobs

“Overprotecting intellectual property is as as harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is impossible without a rich public domain. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it is supposed to nurture...
... Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before”
Judge Alex KozinskiUS Court of Appeals
