Patent and copyright exist to encourage creativity and innovation. People won't work as hard to actually create anything or develop any ideas if they can't protect their work. To a lesser extent, patent and copyright are also designed to protect the integrity of the product. Trademark, in fact, is specifically designed for this purpose. Imagine if anybody could sell a soda with the "Coca-Cola" logo on it. That creates confusion in the market. Now what if that soda tastes like ass? The real Coca-Cola will suffer for that since people will now associate the shitty soda with the real deal.Originally Posted by ScourDX
