Why should a single person get to gatekeep a invention and charge profit for it when it would greatly benefit the entire group?We would have never moved past the wheel if innovation were not freely shared with the larger group.
>>544636396Because, otherwise there would be NO incentive to actually do physical labor, work, innovation, or competition that DOESN'T involve or invoke violence or murder?
Despite any trends in various states' policies, the concept of intellectual property isn't inherent to the concept of capitalism. Ancaps especially will argue the opposite. So don't conflate them.
>>544636396Because money motivates innovation, or do you think people would work and study hard and go to college and pay researchers to help everyone for free?
>>544636396that sounds like commie thoughts, the better question is why should a company get to gatekeep a invention and charge profit for it when it would greatly benefit an individual and their offspring.fuck commies, shareholders and ceo's
>>544636501Do you not understand doing good things is good for their own sake?Are you that selfish that everything must be a personally gainful transaction?
>>544636753
>>544636607I am a researcher anon. I do not do it for money. Doing good things and trying to improve the lives of people is worthwhile in its own right. It needs no monetary motivation.
>>544636753you want others to make while you just take commies like you get pic relate
>>544636501I would argue that actually copyright and patents actually highly stifle innovation far more than they assist it.The extents of copyright and patents should be halved across the board for all things.And many, manymany things should be outright rendered into public domain.The concept itself of exclusivity has seen over a century of counter-productive over-use, not a boon.We are lesser, from having shit like "the mickey mouse" not be released to the public domain and thus forcing corporate niggers to actually invent something else that is fresh.We are Not worse off that scientists just granted penicillin. I'm agreeing with the commieflag, if comes down to it his take is preferable on this one.
>>544636668>greatly benefit an individual and their offspringThere is more utility to be gained if a innovation is free to the entire collective than just something to be exploited and gatekept for the gain obscene of one person. Why be greedy and selfish?
>>544636909I hold advanced degrees in hard science fields anon. I am not a taker, I contribute my talents freely for overall societal gain
>>544637136You've never made a dollar in your life?
>>544637136>I hold advanced degrees in hard science fields anonso the government pays for your "research" from actually working people's moneyyou should only get paid if your "research" results in something applicablealas, you get paid regardlesswhich is why you spew commie propaganda here
>>544636396Why is a commie using ai slop?I thought you were above this
>>544637136>I have advanced degrees in "hard science fields"No you don't. If you did, you would call them "applied sciences." So you're a scammer then? Or a larping business major...wait, that's just scammer again.
>>544637044Commie, what if you spent 5 years and 2 million dollars trying to find a solution to something and then you finally invented it.No one else was trying becuese they were lazy commies.Should you not be allowed to profit?
>>544637414You are arguing with a retard commie.
>>544636396That's not how patents work. Patents are publicly available documents that are free to look at for everyone. It's the opposite of gatekeeping. Anyone can look at the patent and replicate it for personal use.What you cannot do is incorporate the replicated work as part of a product you intend to profit from. That requires the consent of the patent owner.Patents encourage the publication of information. Without the legal protection that comes with them, we'd be in a situation where nearly all recent inventions are rendered as company secrets that they'll actively work to conceal from the public.
>>544637414>what if you spent 5 years and 2 million dollarswhat?! Spend his own money on research?!no, that's what grants are for what if the research doesn't yield any applicable invention? (sciences be hard yo)mister researcher has to eat, doesn't he?
>>544636396Because you don't have the right to the fruits of someone's mind without their permission.If you follow your road by seizing the minds of others, your inventors will simply stop giving you new things and your society will die
>>544637044listen if you or a company or state wants to use my innovation sure, but there's a fee, I don't innovate for free and should be compensated.maybe this innovation is all I can offer the world, should it not provide me with an income? If you'd approach me with some greater idea my specific product or component can be used in and can prove to me it will benefit many I'll even give a discount but I still want my cut, this is far from unreasonable.What is unreasonable is you expecting my intellectual labor to always be free, the sole reason I innovate is to be rewarded or gain some livelihood or passive income from it instead of flipping burgers in megacorp inc, this might not be true for all innovations and a good example is the creators of insulin giving it away for a dollar, but then again all their research grants came from public funds and research was performed in a publicly funded institution.If I however create a flying car in my shed, with my own funds and you expect this to be given for free you're delusional.
>>544637689And just WHO funds the grants?
>>544637819exactly
Inventors rarely make any decent money. The people that buy the license from him and jew everyone else are the ones that get rich.Think of all the researchers in medicine that make actual life-saving drugs, they're just paid a salary and then the company makes trillions from it.
>>544636396>freely sharedwhy do commies say that every time when they actually mean theft?
>>544637930This. People talking a lot of theory here. Reality it's corporations and financiers that own these concepts.
>>544637930>they're just paid a salary and then the company makes trillions from it.Exactly, it's wrong. The ones working the hardest with most knowledgeable get paid the least.
>>544636396Capitalism (much like most economic ideologies) only works in a homogeneous society. That way, everyone does truely care about the tribe. However, in a "melting pot" society, no one truely feels like they are part of a tribe and don't mind screwing people over
>>544636396so you are saying what we have been doing is working? I'm confused. Or are you saying all the innovation never happened? I'm confused.
Soon after the first Caveman settled in his first cave, the first Jew showed up to sell him "cave insurance"
