Many corporations have the mistaken idea that the Constitional gaurantee of Freedom of Speech on applies to criticizing the government, however the Constitution makes no distinction.

What copyrights and patents essentially are is the old idea of consent of the King. No one can produce except for those with the King's favor and all others are subject to it and forbidden to offer up competing wares. Those who dare to buy or sell without the King's consent are labeled pirates and imprisoned or made indentured servants.
