[LINK] Is it unethical to infringe a patent?

[Kim Holburn]

I think this is silly discussion.  The RTA or equivalent is concerned  
with who it can charge for infringements by the vehicle.  My  
registration says "Registered Operator", it also says "This  
certificate is not evidence of title to the vehicle described  
herein."  It also talks on the back about "disposal": the disposer  
and acquirer.  Police ask for registration as proof of "ownership"  
and I'll bet the courts consider it the same way.  These are all  
weasel words that effectively mean and equate to ownership under the  
law.
