I wasn't aware that there was a bill to shorten the patent duration for
drugs, but it doesn't surprise me who else (besides the drug co's) would
be against it. I still can't reconcile the huge difference between
patent vs copyright duration. I suppose I'm actually okay with the 17
year patent, in contrast to the 95+ year copyright.
