How much of any of this is our individual IP?
Generic Eric:
To start, I think what is, and what isn't IP is clearly a different subject than the right to be forgotten.
Semantics aside, can we come to an agreement of what is IP?
Can you identify a piece of IP that was generated by a user here?

The interior of my micro yoke design would be IP wouldn't it? The outside isn't original but the inner workings are. What about my wireless triggerstick hot-swap. First one of those IIRC. Wouldn't the design of all those custom space shooter games that have been posted recently be IP? What about the Space Base music by EDS1275? What about all of Opt2Not's original art? Should I continue?

Isn't IP just a word unless you protect your creation through a patent, copyright or trademark?

Forgive me, did you use a canoo? An online vendors analog stick? Mouser or digikey?
*shrug* maybe I guess.
If a person is on the apple vs samsung level you can afford to argue about the radius of corners and angles of bevels. OTOH, since I've never seen an ICB or Pikes Peak in person, how different is it? Would it be a wholly different thing or more likely to fall under paradoy? Could it share the same retail space?
If we can use Metropolis as an example, that is certainly derivitave of....Metropolis
How about this: I had an idea to stylize a cabinet after Burgertime. Big Kahuna Burger with Vincent & Jules dressed as Peter Pepper. Maybe it's just silly & not a horrible idea. But I couldn't call any of that *my* intellectual property.
Here is a more useful discussion:
Who has claim to any CNC bartop?

I built the yoke from off the shelf potentiometers that I hacked apart, redesigned internally, and a bunch of bits of wire and metal and I custom formed. The whole build isn't my IP, infact the only part of that build I would consider my invention is the inner workings of that yoke.
As for Space Base I didn't bring up the whole build, just the music. The music is undisputed original work. While Space Base is an exterior homage to ICB it is a total redesign from an electronics and software perspective. The mechanics are half original and half not so that's a toss-up and the cab design is a straight copy more or less.
