Thanks! I agree, the current "Imaginary Property" (IP) laws are killing off creativity in all forms.
While I don't know if we can take back patents. Those are after all actually IN the US Constitution, not even as an amendment, but a fundamental element. Nevertheless, there is no reason we have to use them.

Knowledge and information need to be free and we are all so much better off when they are.
That's the point of Science in Anarchy. Push back the impending dark age by incentivizing scientists to put their best work out there and make it freely available, because we are all better off when we have more educated.

I find it telling that the countries with the highest standards of living are the ones who invest the most in basic scientific research.
