They're pretty anti consumer

Fuck Israel so much.

They're just bombing civilians who are going about their daily lives.

Zero excuses for this.

It'll affect it, but it won't stop it. This is a good question to bring up though.

I design medical devices. IP is incredibly important in this process to protect our R&D investment in the current system. If IP didn't exist, we'd protect that through other means like obfuscation of function.

Also if IP didn't exist, I could design devices that are so much better at healing people. So much of what I do is restricted because someone else has 30 years left on what they patented.

R&D is expensive. Just because you see what someone else did, doesn't mean you can easily replicate it.

In short: if your goal is pure profit, yeah removing IP probably hurts this a little. If your goal is producing the best product, then get rid of it.

I think the best solution would be a much shorter exclusionary period for patents.

And it's gonna be enforced, right?

Right?

I saw a great one yesterday.
