That is essentially the entire idea behind patents. They get a limited time of control, the public benefits later. Like it or not, this is how the system is supposed to work.
- ilyt 3y agoThat's the problem. It is not working. It's great for big companies to stop their competitors, but not for actual innovation.
- ska 3y ago"I don't like how the system works" and "I blame this company for working in the system" aren't really the same point though. If the real problem is the first one, then implicitly there is a need to propose something that works better. And that is no obvious (but it's obviously not simple).
