> In the case of mathematics and computing, the invention can be copied easily by development costs are minimal as well. These is no compelling reason why someone should reap disproportionate rewards from a government-supported artificial monopoly. Progress suffers and the economy as well. Yes there is: because of the effort of invention. The effort required to copy is irrelevant. Also, by arguing against patents, you're basically arguing that Intel and the like should get a huge payday at the expense of this guy's efforts. Patents only last for 20 years [1], and it's not like progress stops when they're in force. Have some patience. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term_of_patent |
