If you write a paper, no one is allowed to copy the paper without your permission. When you patent writing papers, no one is allowed to write a paper without your permission, which is ludicrous (and I'm pretty sure you can't patent something like that). Meanwhile there are people sitting on great ideas that would be good for humanity or able to make lots of money or whatever, but are too afraid to tell anyone because they are afraid their idea will be stolen.
