Reminder that while most copyright/patents are limited in how long the owner keeps the claim over them, the timeframe is often very long and leads to many corporations abusing this authority. As well as DMCA claims being abused.
On the flip side, it rewards original inventors for their hard work, dedication, and inventions/contributions.

>>2038930 (OP)Patents are important they protect small inventors
Big corps would immediately steal any good idea and make it en masse if they didnt exist

And then you want to start production but Corporation finds out, likes the idea and before you've shipped one they have 1000 Things being shipped under a different name and you get zilch for it all

>>2038978That is a solid point. But for example with the Monsanto company here in USA they were literally murdering people for violating their patent over pesticide-resistant seeds. Leading to them monopolizing over 70% of the US seed industry

>>2039027They also sued farmers into bankruptcy for replanting seeds every year rather than re-buying from them.
