I made no false assertion.
The issue here is whether or not society is entitled to reward research. Whether its investments in technology or medicine or even safe cars, society is entitled to enable that research and it uses intellectual property as the mechanism to do so. You and Frederic seem to think you have the right to dictate to the rest of society whether or not it has that right. You don't.
Society, as a group of many, or of one, has no right to force others to play along with their version of entitled reward research system. If you want to do research, do it on your own time and on your own dime or with your comrades. Form your own solidarity association independent of others. If you want to sell the research to someone or develop products from it, then convince them it has value. Maybe you'll get something for it.
Neither is society entitled to force anybody anywhere to "enable" that research. If by "enabling" you in some way encroach or attempt to encroach on my private property, you are enslaving me or are stealing from me. Not nice. Don't do it.
We can argue all the day long on society's proclivities. It isn't a question of what they
can do, but whether they
should do what their doing. Justify the doing please. Anybody can murder, plunder or enslave.
Just as others have shone in the past, society as a whole can commit the most heinous of crimes and depravities of every stripe upon their members in the name of the majority. Society is a collective of individuals acting in concert to achieve their goals. It is the manner in which they attempt to achieve them that matters.
Just because society has superior numbers doesn't make their acts any more right than before.
