Read to gain insight from it, steal the idea and make it better. Democracy is at the crossroads everywhere, and election rigging could be an issue that could be resolved using blockchain technology. Refer to 1988 Microsoft v. Apple lawsuit, where similar concepts are simulataneously developed for the beneft of consumers.
Background of Microsoft v. Apple case:
In the early 1980s, both Apple and Microsoft were developing GUIs for their respective operating systems. Apple released the Macintosh in 1984, which featured a graphical desktop environment with icons and a mouse-driven interface. Microsoft was working on Windows, which had a similar GUI.
Apple's Allegations: Apple claimed that Microsoft had copied the "look and feel" of the Macintosh GUI, including elements like windows, icons, and menus. Apple alleged that Microsoft had infringed on its copyrights and that the Windows operating system resembled the Macintosh operating system too closely.
Xerox PARC: It's important to note that both Apple and Microsoft drew inspiration from the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), which had developed a pioneering GUI. Xerox allowed both Apple and, later, Microsoft to see their developments, and many GUI concepts and ideas were shared in the industry.
Lawsuit and Settlement: The lawsuit between Apple and Microsoft began in 1988. Ultimately, the court ruled that certain elements of the Macintosh GUI were protected by copyright, but the court did not find Microsoft guilty of copyright infringement. The ruling was a mixed result, with both companies claiming victory.
Settlement: In 1997, after years of litigation and appeals, Apple and Microsoft reached an out-of-court settlement. Microsoft agreed to invest $150 million in Apple, and the two companies settled their differences. Microsoft also obtained a license to use certain elements of the Macintosh GUI in Windows.
In the article, they talk about other blockchains, not Bitcoin, that have already been employed in this use case[democracy in voting]. The same may be replicated with Bitcoin which is the father of all blockchains developed. Let's be smarter...
