Africa vs. US

Lessig concludes his “Free Culture” by explaining the problems with patent laws within the United States. He explains that although he backs up the system of patent holding over pharmaceutical drugs, he believes that there are existent faults in the American system that refrains the final product from reaching those in need. Firstly he points out The U.S.' opposition to the South African bill that allowed "parallel importation", allowing the flow of HIV medicine from other countries to be used within the country. Lessig argues that what the U.S. considers a flow of property or material substance is really a flow of knowledge that does not have negative effects on anybody, instead "turn those chemicals into drugs that would save 15 to 30 million lives."
Again I return to the point that everyone has been ignoring: the United States copyright system puts money before people and untill that changes nothing is going to be changed, regardless of how many genius solutions experts come up with.
