Dustmite,
Thank goodness that someone is taking that Dyson technology and combining it with a decent brush roll and nozzle. Many of the knockoffs clean better than Dyson at a much lower price. Those heavy bagless vacuums are really helping Oreck with their sales.
Hello Severus:
The issue with expansive copyright law protections, which dyson DIB obviously misses based on his unreasonable tirades on several threads here, is that they are inefficient for the market place and consumers. The laws wildly exceed necessary incentives for creators and have a negative impact on new technologies/products that can't build upon the overly restricted protected copyrights.
If the vacuum industry wants to convince innovators to bring new technologies to market, which is dyson's DIB's mantra, then the copyright laws have to allow a proper level of incentives in the rights granted and by setting reasonable length of protections. Else, rather than satisfying customers' demands for new products with innovations as dyson DIB says it should do, the copyright laws [read government oversight] end up controlling customers wants by restricting innovative products. All in the name of eternal protection for the original creator who ends up litigating rather than innovating. The latter is always dyson's DIB claim to fame for his fave idol but it sounds to me that he/Sir James want a monopoly not an efficient market place.
