The story goes that Thomas Edison failed more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb. (The story is often told as 5,000 or 10,000 times depending on the version.) When asked about it, Edison allegedly said, I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb.. The idea is that -- even if you try and fail, it doesn't mean that you didn't learn something.
Screwing over just one inventor might be alright for Galileo, but Edison was a dreamer and he couldn't be satisfied with just one, dead disgraced inventor under his belt. So, after Goebel, and a year before Edison invented his light bulb, Joseph Wilson Swan developed and patented a working light bulb. When it was clear Edison's Fuck Swan defense wouldn't hold up in court, he made Swan a partner, forming the Ediswan United Company and effectively buying Swan and his patent.
