  • It'll affect it, but it won't stop it. This is a good question to bring up though.

    I design medical devices. IP is incredibly important in this process to protect our R&D investment in the current system. If IP didn't exist, we'd protect that through other means like obfuscation of function.

    Also if IP didn't exist, I could design devices that are so much better at healing people. So much of what I do is restricted because someone else has 30 years left on what they patented.

    R&D is expensive. Just because you see what someone else did, doesn't mean you can easily replicate it.

    In short: if your goal is pure profit, yeah removing IP probably hurts this a little. If your goal is producing the best product, then get rid of it.

    I think the best solution would be a much shorter exclusionary period for patents.

  • What's your setup and hardware look like? I'm just curious.

    My jellyfin service has been up for about six months, and has played probably 100+ shows and movies, for myself internally and a few external clients over that time. My hardware is a HP elite desk mini and a 10TB USB HDD
