Without patents the only source for R&D is going to be universities. But private R&D made: the desktop, the mouse, C, Unix (do you think Berkley would have made unix without seeing what AT&T had?), C++, etc., etc. They need to change. No doubt about that, but anything that causes even less R&D than is already going on is very short sighted.
