Why would you choose THIS EPISODE to start this argument? Even if the premise of the series was completely unoriginal, I can pretty much guarantee that the British series upon which it is based does not have a "Silicon Valley episode."

But that's really just a brand image the area has created for itself. In reality it's a collection of intellectual property imperialists (legal battles over patent law are more…
