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

a portal?

like to a galaxy

or hell

You'd just have companies using his inventions for profit

or heaven

To space idfk

Just go with it the portal part isn't important

i mean you do know most researches are already under a company

plus a lot of research still gets put into company secrets with NDAs

Yeah..well the company will patent it anyways,and how will it profit?Other companies are gonna be using the technology that they put no work into discovering,for their own profit

and, there is still incentive to develop, i mean heck elon musk didn't use patents for spaceX

it's trade secrets

just become off the grid
