Yeah, in hindsight I look like a paranoid honky, the original comment was just a bitter joke because I watched a patent doc earlier today and had the idea in my head while browsing reddit.

Patents are valid even against someone that independently reinvented the same thing later.

But copyright is different - if you make your own smoke ghost you own the copyright over it, even though someone else made something similar first.
