Using a type of artificial intelligence known as deep learning, MIT researchers have discovered a class of compounds that can kill a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 deaths in the United States every year.
Healthy people with access to the surrounding world through the Internet is a giant net positive for a country
Certainly, if that was all the public domain was, it’d be great! But it’s much worse than that. It allows people to freely take and profit off the art of others without paying dividends. It allows larger companies to steal and copy designs of small, new companies and under cut them even more readily and easily than they already do.
There’s plenty of downsides that you’re not considering.
Private just makes more money and also you can do ridiculous shit like blow up your own rocket, destroying a landing pad in the process and ignore environmental and labor laws.
Everything should.
Medicine. Internet. Waste disposal.
All utilities, phone, electricity, sewage, road and rail.
But actually looking at these, pretty much all protocols and standards are already open.
So you want to reduce innovation and cause creators to not get properly paid for their work? Great idea
No, because paying for your medicin and Internet is something your government/country SHOULD do.

But ofc we have to think of the poor billionaires first.

I don’t know if you commented on the wrong thing, but I argued that medicin and Internet (and similar) should be paid by the country (taxes).
lol “innovation” what is this 1925?
how innovative are the cars being produced because they look the same.
half those medicines are publicly funded
the Internet is publicly funded.
this belief of private sector innovation is not as true as they sell it to be.

So you’re just going to ignore the even worse creative theft that would happen under such laws towards artistic talents.
There’d be much less in the way of tv shows or animations.
why do you think that??
