It makes sense to see the world that way. To see every last thought and idea as porperty to someone else. It leads to restriction, but I know if i was given the chance to do the same as some of the bigger corporations i would. Greed is a strong motivation for many, and common good seems to have slipped down hill. The understanding of development just blooms with remakes of something earlier that has been slightly transformed. These laws weigh over the heads of many inventors and thinkers I am sure, but what kind of impact would be strong enough to over hand the greed of many. There are artists and inventors out there that are willing to share their ideas. An example group of that is Nine Inch Nails, whose last album has left legal rights to any listener. They have allowed people to take their music and reform it into something else. I don't know if this has been done, but it makes a lot of sense to me. If all music did this then the growth of music could continue at a rate that it has in the past 300 years. Music and science act a lot a like. If inventors allowed their products to be taken, looked at, and transformed life would progress even faster then it is. Stem-cell research might have already been able to be used in a wide aspect of way if this were so. But, unfortunately, people are greedy and the ideas are locked away only to be used when needed for a high price. If the supply is down and the demand is up then they can make a pretty penny off of there one idea, but this one idea might only be able to help a burn victim. Which is really nice, but wouldn't it be nicer to be able to recreate the pupil of the eye, or replace a segment of the heart. I really think it would and maybe one day the information will be let out to the public to play with.
