Simple, recognize that pharaceuticals are a highly special case and develop a custom set of protections/incentives. There is already a mountain of custom regulation for that industry.
It's absurd to think that the same age-of-steam monopoly grant system that currently sorta benefits the pharmaceutical industry should also apply to software, websites, business methods, and exercising one's cat.
It's completely retarded. In the literal sense, i.e., holding progress back. End the retardedness now!
- olliesaunders 14y agoThe reason I didn’t suggest this is that industry-specific law feels like a byproduct of the lobbyist culture that has lead to many of our current problems and pre-existence doesn’t justify its continued creation. But, overall, I think you’re right and this is the pragmatic solution.
