| Message | Define cheaper. RIght now, patents allow corporations to maintain monopolies on life saving or critical innovative technology, which slows down general scientific advancement as well as lines the pockets of those with enough lawyers to continue to assert a patent. By having the government pay inventors and artists who release their work under a creative commons license, we maintain the material incentive for nrew innovations, but allow all to benefit from the advancements of a few individuals. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
