I have concerns of universities and patents. I am leaning towards 'if you want to hold patents and be a non-profit, then all patents must be free use'. I could be convinced otherwise

I think streaming is incredibly worth it. if you watch anything with advertisements, that's typically 1/3 of your time watching commercials, thus if you make 50 an hour, you pay for your streaming service in just 1 hour. 10 hour
