This is bonkers logic. It's wrong to coerce someone into providing the cure, but it's right to coerce someone out of forming a monopoly?

- PeterisP 9y agoAn IP-based monopoly can't exist unless the society enforces the concept of that IP, e.g. coerces anyone to not make the treatment without a valid licence. The monopoly isn't made by the company, it's a conditional and time-limited offer given by the society to promote the creation of such things.
