#1507, "RE: New Bill Siemantel swimbait" In response to In response to 8
Everyone keeps saying things like "Jerry will be just fine" and "I'm sure he will come out with something way better". My question is: why, on earth would he? what would Jerry's incentive possibly be? especially knowing that other people are willing to reap the benefits. So many aspects of his designs cannot be protected by patents so we are stuck with the respect and honor system. Clearly it failed. We all loose if Jerry and those like him get tired of this. Who will design and test something new and original? SPRO? Dave Smith
