Intellectual Ventures: A massive patent pyramid scheme?
,----[ Quote ]
| Cisco and others have coughed up hundreds of millions of dollars to
| Intellectual Ventures, and have taken some steps to try to combat the company
| and its ilk. It's a nice gesture, but Myhrvold and his investors apparently
| bring too much cash to the table, earning Intellectual Ventures the dubious
| distinction of being the world's largest patent troll.

| Sadly, many of these brilliant people have been blinded by the stock
| price and unable to see that Microsoft is also the key architect of
| the greatest financial pyramid scheme this century.
|
| It is not uncommon for participants in pyramid schemes to lose their
| emotional bearings. My close friends who work at Microsoft are
| particularly upset over my work and it is possible that even Bill
| Gates and Steve Ballmer do not realize the implications of their
| financial practices.

| As with all pyramid schemes, it is important to get as close to tier
| 1 as possible. From a practical standpoint, usually only tiers 1 and 2
| will derive significant long-term economic rewards from such schemes.
