If I understand Steven Villegas' patent correctly, he as patented what might be referred to as the "reverse Kingussie" in the US. Has he patented it in other countries? A patent is a monopoly only in the jurisdiction where it exists. If Steven Villegas' wishes to have the same monopoly rights in other jurisdiction then he needs to obtain a patent there. I don't view this as a matter that in any way involves ethics or morals if someone makes or sells a patented item outside the jurisdiction of the patent. Here is a link to an article about patents.

Now, Steve, back to your original post. I do put a higher level of trust in the advertisers here, just as I do the membership here, but look to you as the forum "owner" to establish the rules for both advertisers and members as you see fit.
