I disagree with your general sentiment. The people here reading these comments may be on the fence. Maybe they're leaning one way or another. Maybe they need some more convincing. Someone who wants to learn more can benefit greatly from a documentary or a good article on the subject. And these comments don't just exist in this moment. They will be available in search for a long time to come.
- nl 6y agoI'm not sure a movie called "The patent scam" is going to be seen as an unbiased, convincing source by any fence sitter.
- henvic 6y agoWhy does it has to be unbiased? Alas, there's no such thing as unbiased.
- gruez 6y ago>Alas, there's no such thing as unbiased. So basically, neutrality nihilism? ie. "every source is biased so it doesn't matter whether I'm getting my climate change facts from the IPCC or InfoWars".
- henvic 6y agoNo. It's more along the lines of: It doesn't make sense to give conspiracy theorists any space for the sake of neutrality.
- nl 6y agoI agree with this. But this is different to conspiracy theorists. There is a range of reasonable, good faith positions to take on this issue (eg, some on this discussion advocate the abolishment of copyright - not just patents - which is a position many in the software industry would disagree with).
