@CallumCant1 @sarahljaffe Yep. And we should also legislate so that US-style ‘depraved indifference’ manslaughter charges can be brought against any company that tries to enforce current rights in the knowledge that doing so will cost lives.

@CallumCant1 @thewiskthestaff never should have been.

@CallumCant1 @novaramedia ASAP

@AndrewKerr1873 @novaramedia because nothing has ever been produced without profit as the motivation, which is why NASA is the biggest company in the world, the end

@CallumCant1 @BiztheBuz Despicable.

@CallumCant1 This exposes the truth that intellectual property rights have no logical or ethical underpinnings. By all means reward creation. But do not allow the power to legally enforce long-term or indefinite claims upon public or non-profit use.

@CallumCant1 @sarahljaffe No need. Govts have compulsory licensing powers that can be used without any need to abolish the rights. without the rights we’d be disincentivising nthe development of new treatments.

@CallumCant1 @duncanjdavis no. but they do need to be radically reformed (e.g powers for emergency compulsory licensing) & a bounty system introduced for pharma innovation.

@CallumCant1 This is a case of the market NOT providing. Do we need any more examples of proof that it doesn't? @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @DominicRaab @PritiPatel_MP @Keir_Starmer @RichardBurgon @DawnButlerBrent @paulmasonnews @chunkymark

@CallumCant1 good luck in Italian court.

@CallumCant1 Emergency legislation to requisition whatever is needed, beds, equipment and intellectual property rights. An example of private profiteers in action. #coronavirus #covid19 #profiteers #NHS @johnmcdonnellMP @CarolineLucas @mbauwens @Channel4News

@CallumCant1 Peeling back the layers of capitalism the rotten core is exposed.
