After revising the traditional arguments to hinder access to people’s intellectual labour, we examine why we should be more open to allow free-riding of inventive efforts, especially in cases where innovators have not secured the widest access to the fruits of their research. We do so by questioning the voluntariness involved in the consumption of objects of innovation, restating the positive social externalities that arise when wider access to the fruits of innovation is facilitated, and examining the eventual harms innovators face. 2017 artículo científico 0717-5906 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=55453395007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=554 Acta Bioethica application/pdf Universidad de Chile Acta Bioethica (Chile) Num.2 Vol.23 |
