Based off his other products he uses a STM32 chip.

I think it's a good thing I found this thread late because I definitely would've burned some bridges if I'd waded into it early on. :cool:

You'll find a lot of other countries will have more rights for the end user. Especially those wild scandis. That's one of the reasons some companies initially on the border of intellectual property legality start over there, like Spotify.
I think this is something that's really important that's kinda being overlooked by some of the US bros.
Americans (in my experience) seem to err on the side of supporting IP rights and builders in almost anything.
I think maybe because a lot of people hope to be the innovator that's making lots of money (or even just a moderate amount of money). :idk:
That support can sometimes get a little out of hand, too (such as people that think you shouldn't even be allowed to look inside an analog pedal that's just another slightly modified clone/interestingly connected series of common circuits), but the DIY community can get a little nuts when it comes to "my rights as a citizen to do whatever the fuck I want," too, so there's this constant battle between "protect the builders" and "burn down the capitalist empire". :lol:

Or maybe it's because we feel that folks should be compensated for their hard work (like osc. said, writing code isn't easy, and it certainly isn't free) because the government won't do it for us. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cannibalize everything. Destroy humanity. Hire and exploit foreigners in fast foods. Live the American dream.

I don't think that we neglect IP in Europe, but we might not have such a habit of going to court that much. :idk:

Nah. It's just that we have way more taxes on everything so we are happy.

I love some of my American friends, despite the fact they still have the Muhrrrrica tat on their face.

When my GFs American family visited we talked about taxes, and it turns out we don't pay that much more than them in taxes, we just get something in return for it. :lol:

Are there tax brackets in Scandiland, though? And would you be in the same one as them if there are?
