I think patents are stupid and if you invent something good you should be able to sell it at whatever price you feel like, and if I copy what you did and sell it cheaper, that’s on you. Try to make it better and cheaper next time. Or find your premium market, or find your ‘the original creator’ market, or receive donations, or etc…
But make it illegal to copy? That’s just a pussy move.
Not at all. Proof is in recent history. How long took to steal the multi touch from iPhone without paying a single patent?
Once is out, is everyones game. If the market demand it enough.
You can be the first one, and that should pay you enough. If you want more, or think it doesn’t worth your time, let room for somebody else.
New tech doesn’t need patents. Drugs are another example. The blank brand drugs sell less than Bayern in my country and IT’S THE SAME DRUG. But people trust brands. So you are still in business even years after the patent expires.
You don’t need this laws to preserve new tech from coming out, companys want the markets only for themselves as long as they can. That’s it.
If you could copy a drug from day one, health would be a better business for everyone except a few, and those few will only make a little less money. They won’t go bankrupt.
True, Linux isn’t free because it uses electricity. It’s free because it’s licensed under the GNU General Public License which is designed to defend the freedom of its users.

That doesn’t make it free. Somebody else is paying.
Oh, like online piracy. Got it! 🤣
Nope. If the product is finished and you make a copy, nobody else is paying.
If you go to the store (90s style) and steal a copy, that’s a whole different thing.
Go to rental place in the 90’s/2000’s
Rent things
Copy things
Return original - No harm | Return copy - ???

No, I don’t have to. That’s too superfluous.
In jobs where you need to do researches, you just charge your time more expensive. That’s it.

What? You don’t say.
Technically… it’s the hardware on your PC using all the electricity.
Yeah but it’s the software that told it to do it.
Not initially, it’s an on off switch… technically.
At some point it was a twinkle in Charles Babbage’s eyes 👀:-D.
