I support the elimination of copyright in it’s current form

The way it was initially was fine IMO: 14 years, with an option to renew it at the end of those 14 years. ONCE.

Now in terms of patenting medications, if it was partially paid for with public money it’s the public’s patent. In other words it’s open for everyone. Made a new medication but took a government grant to help fund it? It’s public when it comes out, enjoy a nice hearty reward check for your efforts.
