They not only saw it miles off, they figured out early on that they needed a plan to deal with it. ... In drug design the unthinkable scenario unfolded something like this: The ability to share data and intellectual properties wouldn’t shrink, it would grow. Walled data silos would prove unpopular and inefficient. ... No one experiment is going to replace what we are now losing with designed drugs, but over time, the collection of new experiments that do work might give us the cure we need." [adapted from Clay Shirky]We need legal support, intellectual property protection, and social legal systems, we need them more than ever !
