There's a big difference between legal and ethical.

And it's not creating liquidity in the market for inventions. It's creating liquidity in state-sanctioned and enforced monopoly rights of inventions.

Without that monopoly, there wouldn’t be much of a market for inventions.

Of course there would, there's a lot of money to be made from inventing something, even without a patent.

And the biggest companies in the world aren't the biggest because they have patent protected monopolies.
