      fuck IP, knowledge belongs to the world not imaginary borders created by hairless apes.

      honestly. the reason 3D printing didnt take off until 2012? IP We could have been making progress in this technology since the 90s. but no… Imagine where we could be today if greed didnt keep that tech locked up for decades.
