We don't need to go to this extreme. Restore copyrights and patents to 25 years. Place burden of proof on the copyright claimant.

- breck 6y agoAh yes, the extreme. Allowing poor kids in inner city schools to share information that rich kids have access to, using property their parent(s) purchased with their own money. How extreme. Pointing out that a new book is literally made entirely of symbols invented thousands of years ago and contributes nothing of value in comparison, how extreme. Saying that we shouldn't prioritize selling bad medicines over good ones, how extreme.
- saalweachter 6y agoPatents are currently only 20 years.
- NineStarPoint 6y agoYup. These people are probably thinking of copyright, which software fall under. Which current is 95 years from publication or author’s lifespan + 75 years, and should almost certainly be shortened closer to patent length.
