Achievements in science, technologies, and art of are fruits of the collective efforts of the human race over the time. The advance in these activities is possible only if it is based on the existing, accumulated experience - knowledge. Science and technologies were relatively accessible, open, through the human history. Only since the capitalist society they became more and more closed and inaccessible. This is because the capitalists are obsessed with their profiting and want to extract more of it. As result, we have the unnatural and retrograde idea of “intellectual property.” This must be abolished.
