This from a website of the Swedish Pirate Party:
Sigh. Then it goes on to endorse Pharma patents advocating a public/corporate partnership to meet the needs of Big Pharma in developing new drugs. Sigh.
1. It does not cost billions to create drugs, they merely spend billions.
2. The process is already political and invested with public funds, so how will doing more of the same change things?
3. There is no correlation between money spent and drugs introduced. There is only inhibiting more better cheaper faster drugs due to monopolies.
And then the site goes on to praise trade marks! Someone has not been doing his basic research....
The site is very crashy, so careful...

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
"Patents should be abolished as soon as possible. An increasing amount of research, predominantly in the United States, shows us that the patent system as a whole has a negative effect on society. It can be positive for specific actors (mostly pharma companies and patent trolls), but for society as a whole, the patent system is damaging to innovation, to competition, and to economic growth."
