MODERATORS
I have zero respect for any IP laws, the one thing I agree with China on. They only serve to inhibit innovation and make the rich richer.
It discourages innovation more when the vast majority of modern cultural works, or mechanical inventions are completely off limits to all but a small ownership class. It means no one is generally free to iterate on modern ideas without risking legal liability. Ultimately, pretty much nothing in this world is original, everything is an iteration on existing works. When anything approaching a modern work is restricted, there’s far less to iterate on.
And obviously, every entity, company or person, sould be capped at owning things (including other companies) at $ 999 mil.
Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but genuinely I would be ok with this.
Why would it be sarcasm?
