My point was that innovation and financial reward need to be decoupled to ensure valuable knowledge is not locked behind IP.

To think about a future without ridiculous restrictions on access to knowledge(which IP law promotes implicitly), it is important to stop accepting the status quo in which innovation and financial reward are directly linked.
You seem to accept the reality that innovation has to be linked to financial reward by gaining exclusive rights over the invention using IP laws,which,respectfully,is preposterous.
- melling 11y agoCan you provide some concrete examples of the business model, and how it works? Perhaps some new agile startups could disrupt big pharma. You can't realistically expect people to accept that you have a better plan without offering real evidence that it works.
- dineshp2 11y agoI don't claim to have a magical solution for the problems but what I can do is get people talking about the current system and potential solutions. Isn't that the first step towards solving any problem? I plan to share some of my thoughts and potential solutions in a blog post, and I will be sure to share it here.
