A large IP reform that consolidates licensing and patent agreements into a single one: automatically granted to anyone who applies, cannot be denied to ensure competition, always provides a fixed percentage that cannot be arbitrarily changed on a whim.
Also, rights to IP can only be held by living human beings that are also its creator or have been directly involved in its creation, cannot be sold or inherited. and are relinquished upon death.
The idea being that IP rights cannot stifle innovation or competition, but ensure that good ideas are still rewarded appropriately. This will also end corporations vacuuming up any new idea potentially useful for mankind to make a for profit version later.
Not necessarily a pirate dream, but I really wouldn’t mind paying a fair amount for a good product as long as it goes to the person who actually made it and is freely available immediately. Fucking geoblocking
