  • It’s true that innovation thrives if shared, but it still would suck for the innovaor without temporary protection. Maybe he gets satisfaction from inventing some fancy stuff, but it doesn’t pay the bills if the next day someone in china just make a cheaper copy of the invention and outsell the innovator. It would be even worse if that person in china, not only copy the invention, but made it better.
    It’s fantastic for us as a consumer because it’s cheaper and better of course


  • IP is supposed to provide advantage for inventors/innovators by giving them temporary protection from copycats.
    That is to motivate people to invent/innovate. The problem is that the law keeps getting modified to extend the time before the protection expires and corporations abusing them in strange ways.
    The silent problem with extending the expiration is that innovators will just stop innovating and milk the IP advantage they have.

    So… Once Iranian government falls. Who’s going to prevent the terrorists from going into Iran spread there?
    The new government is probably too weak, Israel probably don’t care anymore and will focus on clearing off Palestine.
    So the US probably got handed off this hot potato because, if no western countries is doing it, China or Russia will come in and cause chaos later.
