What makes Thailand wonderful
4,000 volunteers in Bangkok joined together to wash away the damage caused by the Red Shirt’s arson and grenade attacks. This is an example of what I love about Thailand.

Details of Abundance Based Intellectual Property System

For a system to promote innovation it must reward those two different tasks separately. And the best system aligns all parties instead of pitting them against each other.
Unfortunately the fundamental point of my article was missed. Read more
Abundance Based Intellectual Property System
The intended purpose of intellectual property laws is to promote discovery and encourage sharing of ideas. A system that rewards great discoveries and also makes the realization of the ideas available to as many people as cheaply as possible is the ideal system. Using the concepts of Abundance that system can be achieved.
The patent and copyright system creates artificial scarcity. Its stated goal is to promote the sharing of ideas but it does not work. Its not just broken, it was wrong from the start. It assumes that good ideas are scarce and the only way to get people to share their ideas is to give them a monopoly, creating a temporary scarcity.
It’s absurd to claim information as property. If someone said they owned the number 3 and no one can use it without their permission, they would be laughed at or even locked up for being insane. The patent and copyright system grants ownership to information. That contradicts the goal of promoting discovery and sharing.
