Some medicine shouldn't be allowed to have copyright.

All would come with the problem that the companys stop investing into research. This would be compensatable by government funded research, but it would be a very large restructuring.

I think its ok for them to hold patents for some medicine, as long as they sell it for a reasonable price. Those patents however should expire after like 5 years.

Why do you think that medication patents are a bad thing?
