    I don’t care too much when it comes to early adopter tech like this, which everyone knows will be obsoleted and laughable in 1 year. But the biomedical devices - we need a law about this, so people who get sense-restoring tech implanted in their bodies don’t get bricked because the company decides the product isn’t viable to bring to mass market.

    Philosophically agree with you, and would love to see it okay out exactly as you say.

    The problem with incorporating a business is that all humans therein pretty much escape liability.

    The only value is the assets and intellectual property that can be sold off to another organization. Releasing all the proprietary data brings that value down to zero.
