  You’re not stealing knowledge, you’re stealing someone else’s time, effort and money. There’s a reason there’s IP laws everywhere.

  What then do you suggest as the alternative? Or is your suggestion just to stop innovation?

      Yes, this is exactly what happens. Lone humans just can’t do much on their own, you need money to fund you, and money doesn’t fund anything that isn’t going to make them more money.

        Innovation happened before money as a concept existed.

        hey so how about we got rid of the profiteering glutton in between and gave the money directly to the researchers? :)

    free is good

    “time effort and money”

    im sorry but innovation will be sustained without copyright

    no one is just gonna go “I cant make obscene amounts of money on this, better not do it at all” if they actually care about it

    free is good only hurts the rich
