The Ends NEVER justify the means.

Iraque is an actual proof of that and the Israelian attack to Lebanon is the upmost actual demonstation of that. Actaully, in the recent history of the USA around the globe this is demonstrated at will.

@ Impulse

You are partially right but not for that reason.

@ Author

Do you know why Patent and Copyright were invented? And what was the return to people due to that? And what was the ideia behind that lost of our Rights?

Of course, if the Rights of the People are endagered the Patents and Copyrights should be immediately revoged. They have it in the first place to promote science and culture but not to make then filfy rich and/or explore the People.

This is valid for software, healthcare, agriculture, etc.

Today, the original concept of Patent and Copyright was totaly destroyed. Nor the authors really have their Copyright but the companies that publish the work (the intention was precisely the opposite) neither Patents protect work done but start to protect mere ideas, and many of those not even original.

Maybe its time to rethink this model from scratch.

This drugstory reminds me of the eleven South American countries who forced the American producers of AIDS stopping medicin to sell them cheaper, zo more people could be saved.
