It's not clear to me precisely how that change would lead to that goal. But anyway, he doesn't. It's not on his list of goals.

The goals are, in Wikipedia's words, "to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty across the globe, and to expand educational opportunities and access to information technology in the U.S."

Sorry, the video in the OP seemed to imply the pandemic preparedness was a goal. Liberating ideas would lead to that goal because we would see a rapid iteration on information, an influx of regional publishers, and the people currently choking down bad information would instantly have access to the best information (in fact, iteration would happen so quickly that the information the poor would have in a decade post liberation would be better than info the rich have today).

> "to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty across the globe, and to expand educational opportunities and access to information technology in the U.S."

No single thing could help accomplish those goals better than to eliminate Imaginary Property chains. People's brain thrive with great true information and are crippled when fed junk. The question is what is more important to Gates Foundation: accomplishing their stated goals or their own private self-interested goals?
