This may actually be a case of the patent system working for the betterment of society... But not because of the profits to pharma.
Everyone seems to be aware of the highly addictive nature of Oxy. Keeping the patent extended, for even 6 months, will keep the generics from manufacturing it, thus keeping it a little harder to get your hands on.
Once the Generics start making Oxy too, well, availability goes up, and street price goes down.
Again, in this one instance, I would support extending the patent for the betterment of society.
Now, can someone please make some Children's Chewable Barbiturates in cheap gummy form so I can stop paying the babysitter?
The Greens would welcome ACTA being ruled out completely because the content of this treaty is fatally flawed and the process that brought it about was shamefully and unnecessarily secretive. While our government did hold consultations they were farcical because those being consulted did not have the secret text and therefore couldn’t provide advice and feedback.

From a designated room, with no ability to take notes, make copies, or have staff to help. Oh, and don't expect them to pipe the audio into the room for him either. Transmitting audio of any sort would open them up to lawsuits, license fees, etc from the RIAA.

I pay for TV through Cable or Satellite subscriptions on a monthly basis. Funny, that is EXACTLY how I pay for my internet as well. It even comes to my house through the same pipe as my TV.
I pay for TV through Cable or Satellite subscriptions on a monthly basis. It is a monthly subscription. I have never had to pay per show I watch.
I pay for TV through Cable or Satellite subscriptions on a monthly basis. I do not then have to pay extra to watch on the TV in the basement vs that in the den.
I pay for TV through Cable or Satellite subscriptions on a monthly basis. I can then Tivo, VHS, DVR, etc and watch them when it is most convenient for me. I do not have to pay extra for this.
So again, AC, I agree with you entirely. We should treat Internet content the same.
