Knowledge Glut
-Smith-
Nowadays, most materials are getting more exhausted. But only one thing is an exception. That is knowledge. Knowledge in exceed demand is not always good. A lot of knowledge are overlooked and sometimes, those can be dangerous than a shortage of knowledge.
The inventors strive to find new information and invent new skills for long times. But dissemination is almost free and easy to copy. So people think knowledge free. People can copy knowledge which is digital on the internet easily. The people never feel guilty about it. They think that it is natural. Although some people feel guilty about it, they still do it. It is because once knowledge is copied, what is copied is no longer a copy. They are the same as an original thing. Nobody can tell them apart.
So many R&D workers are in dilemma. They invest their energy and time in their study. But they are not recompensed for their efforts considering their investment. If this situation is happened continuously, they might not develop anything. It is their job and unless they do not earn, they cannot live. So a law which restricts an illegal copy is needed. If the law were made, they not only would preserve the right by themselves but also could concentrate on their study.
Nevertheless, there is an opposed opinion which says that free copy is helpful for consumers as well as inventors. The inventors develop new things by using the former things. They can use those freely. But if they have to pay for all information having wanted to use, they could hardly invent new thing such as now. The one of similar examples is the case of China in the 14th century.
Knowledge now takes up an important part of our lives. The time that we cannot live without knowledge has already come and knowledge is already glutted. So all we have to do is to use knowledge carefully.
