I'm honestly having trouble believing that we're arguing to maintain the status quo so that big pharma can keep doing their good work. The cognitive dissonance is real man. -

lol my point is just that the argument that patent and copyright laws help the consumer by making innovation profitable are spurious, and have to be balanced against the cost of monitoring and enforcement. -

Imagine if we didn't have patent laws! There would be less research into advanced pharmaceuticals! Only people who just wanted to help people would even bother with the research. And doctors would be stuck prescribing inexpensive cures without kick-backs. In fact, the incentives to keep patients ill to sell them expensive drugs to mask the symptoms while also making them sicker would disappear! It would be absolutely awful ? -
