Nor does anyone else pay, I would think. Why single out corporations?
As you know, I oppose patents and copyright. Information should be freely available.
However, if science is supported by government and "corporations steal" the information, then government should stop supporting science.
Shouldn't they?
Corporations aren't the problem. Government privilege is the problem.
If corporations had to face a really free market, much of their power would diminish.
Are you willing to oppose all privilege?
