or slower rate of innovation rather

Why would you want to invent if you didn't have a piece of paper saying nobody can use ur invention without your permission first so that you can profit from it?

because businesses compete, and it's not like inventions are made with just one person, they are built on previous work and when someone monopolies it means further derivative work can't be done as quickly

but on the rights issue, it's not like genuine property

like if you own a car you own it forever, what's the deal with having patents for just 5 - 10 years

why not for a life with ability to transfer to your children

U don't get my point

just be a right leaning egoist

though my main thing with is it overall rate of innovation, that patents actually slow down it

Do you think Star Wars would have been a thing if Lucas didn't know he could profit from it
Do you think lightbulbs would be a thing if Edison couldn't profit from them
Do you think TNT would be a thing if Nobel couldn't profit from it?

Nah,they would go work in some giant firm and waste their potential

Especially inventors

that's a utalitarian argument, and in regards to that, it removes a lot of the derivative work, i mean it's like saying do you think research would be done without government research

it's more about things done on net

plus before edison there were a bunch of light bulb prototypes

Yeah research would be without government research

It is

edison is a good poster child of dubiousness of IP actually

without government subsidies to farmers we will all starve

dur dur, see a couple of good things a less efficient policy did, that justifies it over a more efficient one

Government research is gay

it does occasionally pop out good stuff, it just costs a lot and private research delivers results faster

Yeah but private research would cost less and deliver more

the public research on aliens have gone well

fucking obama

it's in the self interest of the company with or without IP, without IP you just don't have the same government imposing a cost in expenses for a patent bureau and their bureaucracy

probably a consequence of abolishing patents is faster rate of smaller innovation

and less larger companies

Lmao,its more about the art industry really

But scientists who discover something deserve to profit from it too

deserve, what's next quoting carl marx, you are a wage slave heh jk

the people that spam the wagies meme are bottom of the barrel faggots

Its litteraly there to incentivize inovation lmao

Yes

there is incentive enough, it's called profit

even in a socialist/communist society they would never last

or demsoc/socdem/libsoc

or ancom

lots of different things, same meaning, same chopper

How is a scientist gonna profit from discovering say how to make a portal if there is no IP laws?

Seriously
