re: #185 opnion

While we are talking about copyright laws , how about drug company patents? If you spend your money & labor and make a break through& get approval you get the patent that you deserve for a finite period.
The problem arises when the pharmaceutical company requests & is granted extension after extension. Nobody else can produce it & the price is set high in a monopolistic way.
Obama could make some positive change by addressing issues like this rather than radically destroying the entire system.

Patents are a somewhat different thing than copyrights, and areas where health and safety come into play are even more complicated.
