Amazing how fast companies jumped on the thing after the patent ran out.

Unfortunately, these small mfg companies don't have the $$$ power of
big conglomerates like the record and pharmaceutical companies which
can bribe slimey pols into changing laws so exclusivity laws extend to

....AFTER the author dies! Bet Fein wishes they had that kinda clout.
