But if it was illegal to research 99% of your current field even if the information existed you may feel differently

Especially because people who want to pirate games for playing have no qualms. Right now the restriction is specificall on people who want to research legally

it’s like you’ve never heard of roommates. If you get a third job and find a couple people, i’m sure you could afford to rent a shed

Capitalism creates monopoly. The consumer’s needs can be manufactured. In a society organized around capital shareholder needs are paramount.

Very much a strawman argument. China can offer cheap electric cars because they aren’t paying american car company CEOs. Also, your argument supposes that American manufacturers aren’t supporting IDF…

Voting with your dollar is a myth (it’s a myth that workers have any vote, not that the dollar controls the imperial core).

Where in that article do you read that?

Maybe we’re reading something different, or this is tongue and cheek but "Alibaba’s research arm, the Damo Academy, " sounds like research arm is a synonym for “research division” or “research department”.

I can see where this came from. ARM and RISC-V are both reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architechtures but are not the same. Arm is a proprietary ISA originally from Acorn. Risc-v is a new ISA developed completely open-source

EDIT: also, not to be killjoy, but for clarity “research arm” means apendage or division and is completely unrelated
