The example I gave above was where you needed the processing power to run your medical startup. >There is obviously certain types of data that should be provided as a public service to all of society "Should" what's meant by that? If you want data to be open, you need to fund that, or develop your own and release that freely. Statements of the kind "everyone deserves scarce resource X" really mean "we should tax rich people in order to subsidize X for poor people". Which is a fine thing to argue for, but don't present it as a universal right.
