Lawrence M. Krauss
American theoretical physicist and cosmologist... Wow, No ordinary interviewer.
with out patent rights research will almost cease, if a company invests in research they deserve the opportunity to get their money back for that research. The problem is when the patents go on too long and also encourage monopoly for extended periods of time.
Also the patents should allow other people to profit from the invention as long as their modification of the invention is original enough and they pay royalties.
@@aoeu256 They do allow for that. One industry that that is difficult is the pharmaceutic industry.
does Chomsky have intellectual property rights on his published books?
No. The publishers have those. In order to publish a book, you have cut a deal with a corporation where you effectively give them the rights to your book in exchange for a small percentage of the profit from the sales.
In the process, publisher often chooses the name of the book, the cover photo, the design of the jacket, writes the front and back blurbs, edits the book, and chooses how the book is marketed and where it is sold.
In either case, I doubt very highly that Chomsky would care if people in China were xeroxing his book and sharing free copies with each other.
Joe Herbert True. I’m guessing the main reason Chomsky uses publishers is that they effectively spread his message. He probably cares very little about profits.
P N right, he doesn’t care about his profits...www.hoover.org/research/noam-chomsky-closet-capitalist
L3th4LQu4rK I stand corrected. But so what? Profits probably aren’t the main reason he uses publishers
@@user-wl2xl5hm7k the bottom line is that Chomsky does not care about the intelectual property rights of his books. If he could I'm sure he would be dropping boxes of free books out of a plane to get copies to everyone he could.
And most artists are like that too. They want enough money to love on. But beyond that they just want people to enjoy thier work and don't give a fuck if people pirate their shit.
It's the studios and publishers, the big giant corporate entities, not the content producers themselves, who have a huge stick up their ass about copyrights, because all they care about is maximizing profits, and never about the art they are producing, or the positive effect it might have on people's lives.
All types of intellectual property laws must be fully abolished immediately, in any and all jurisdictions worldwide ✊
As an aside, IP laws were relatively young at Marx’s time. He was unaware of how they worked, so he didn’t address them at all or about how they negatively affect the working class.
Against Intellectual Monopoly is the most informative book humanity has on the subject now. Against Intellectual Property is another incredible essay, but it’s written from a right-libertarian perspective so if you’re leftist like me you’ll have to read with an open mind and extract what’s helpful.
Did the west ever pay China for inventing gunpowder?...which was essential for European imperialist conquests across the world. How about paper making? chrome plating? Seismology? Bridge and dam building? Or many other things...chow main! Kung Fu movies!!!
Government is the problem for creating IP then. ;) Never needed funding for technological advancements when there was no IP.
The problem is that if corporations and countries that invest trillions of dollars have their IP stolen and thus don't earn their share, they won't have the budget to fund further innovation. And I wouldn't trust innovation on corporations and countries that have to resort to stealing patents. In other words, IP protection safeguards global innovation and progress in general.
What's more, autocratic countries such as China are notorious for lack of free speech. Without free speech, there's no exchange of ideas. Without exchange of ideas, there's no creativity. Without creativity, there's no progress. Autocratic countries can only develop so far. China's invocation doesn't go beyond expanding upon what has been invented by others, and at some point they won't be able to go any further unless they change.
China leaders the world in Patent applications. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Intellectual_Property_Indicators
Well there will be less innovation on certain types of speech, but not others. Does China limit free speech on science & engineering? Plus Chinese would know how to get around restrictions. There is also somewhat in the West a form of censorship, anti-intellecutalism, or something that could also limit creativity in certain fields.
This guy is so good
Chinese offense is a defence. Apt 41.
Chomsky is a big critic of China he is against China but that doesn't mean that those laws that the US makes is right, and he is just using the Chinese as an example of the US losing the monopoly of "right".
@@RiyadhElalami true he's down on China as much as anywhere else, that's consistent with his views with eons. China is playing a strategic game in their quest for the destruction of US hegemony, its far smarter than US strategy which is to keep dollar as world reserve currency, they will expend themselves just like every other empire, I think sooner rather than later.
Such a good point. The anglos treat this like a casus belli for war
The kind of resources it took to develop the different technologies of the 1800s is nowhere near the resources needed to develop today's technologies.
Your point being?
Exactly.

I must have missed the part in Chomsky's BIO that states where he is Licensed to Practice IP Law, or Trade Law, or International Law, or any other relevant training/experience he possesses, that would make him qualified to discuss this topic???
It doesn't take a license to discuss these subjects. It takes intelligence and common sense.
@@yeahwhateverwhocares ,
It doesn't take license to discuss Tax Law either.
So would you hire Chomsky to represent you against the IRS, just because you think he has, ' intelligence and common sense '???
@@mck1972 Is he representing a client in intellectual property case?
@@ashutoshsingh3204 ,
IF Chomsky does not have equivalent credentials in Intellectual Property Law, as an actual Intellectual Property Attorney, then why should we take anything Chomsky says on this topic seriously at all???
@@mck1972 What would you say politicians talking about matters in which they don't have a degree in.
Noam Chumsky again talking out of his ass and generalizing.
What about all the small business owners who come up with an Idea only to have a Chinese company steal that idea and sell it for cheaper?
Happened very recently. Search
"This is Disgraceful! Chinese Websites and Social Media are stealing from an American Small Business.
"
hey you can also go back to the age before China invented the compass, gunpowder, writing paper and the first rocket technology. Even the origin of the binary code was first seen in China. Hope you enjoy jungle life
@@Reformed_Zuko And Muslims invented algebra, and whites invented calculus and the atomic bomb, and Jews invented the USB and jeans. Chinese enjoy those too. What's your point?
@@PureInsanity his point is that we've always "stolen" tech from each other... no point complaining about it.
@@shezyam460 That's false equivalency. All those examples of past inventions required much less resources in research and development compared to these new ones.
@@PureInsanity what? So in the past it's okay because it supposedly took less time but today it's not? I don't think anyone likes having their stuff stolen
