Patents were designed to protect a fledgling economy and its participants from the megalithic economic powerhouses of England and Europe.

Our economy was just starting out, and we had no way to compete with established businesses.

Now that patents and copyrights don't protect individuals, but instead protect multinational corporations and investor profits, they should be removed.

Only human beings should be granted either patents or copyrights. Corporate entities should be required to fight-it-out in the marketplace with no protections in place.

You and I pay for the protections. I don't want to protect multinational corporations. Do you?
