If you can’t see how a person might unfairly profit by claiming someone else’s creation as their own, I’m not sure how I can clarify it for you.

Pharmaceutical and medical patents are a kinda two-edged sword.
Patents can be used to protect their R&D investments, but at the same time, the patent system can drive negative innovation where research is only driven towards patentable goals. This has been noted in journals, for example, Feldman etc 2021, and Gold etc. 2010. Patents can also be used to drive medicine and treatment costs artificially high, which may cause inequality.
I live in a country where we automatically get reimbursed for our medication by our gov, usually by 40%, but depending on treatment it can be 65% or 100%. We also have a gov run pharmaceutical pricing board that decides the wholesale price of medicine. Many countries do not have such a system, and patented medication costs may vary wildly from country to country.
There are many instances where pharma companies try to bypass patents by minor alterations to medication or continue the patent by creating new medication that is close to the original. Then market it as a ‘more modern and higher efficacy’ form of the previous. For example, Citalopram and Escitalopram, as escitalopram is (S)-enantiomer of citalopram.
As a junior researcher, I vouch for open-access research, especially open-access health research. Our publishing system is already a tad broken as the copyright is transferred from the researcher to the publishing company upon your manuscript’s acceptance. Publishing is billion dollar industry where researcher usually only gets ‘prestige’ instead of monetary compensation for their research.
On other copyright and patent laws; Here, if I come up with an idea that is a patentable and innovative company I work for has the first call on its rights instead of me, even if the idea is immaterial like software, even if I do it on my own time. Only if the employer gives up on patenting the idea themself, it’s transferred to me.
Let’s say I pretend I am Adidas and I stick fake logos to cheap tracksuits. That would be plagiarising Adidas. Adidas is not harmed by that in any way (they can still make their tracksuits). However, the person I’ve harmed is the poor gopnik who bought my crappy tracksuit thinking it was real Adidas. So plagiarism is fraud, and the victim is the customer, not the original author.
Even if that profit is “unfair” (whatever that means), how is the original creator harmed by the fact someone else is profiting? He still has his work and can do with it whatever he wants.

Ok, in music culture, there’s often an agreement to build and share upon each other’s ideas. That was by their choice and, because it was agreed to, music as a whole benefited. There’s a great movie on this subject. The name is escaping me but I’ll post if I can find it.
.
Although, if the community is encouraging this sharing, it’s not really plagiarism, is it?

Well, I want to live in a community where everyone is encouraging sharing of every information and there are no laws that stand in the way of that.

If you’re building crap sneakers, Adidas’s reputation takes a hit.

So, what are your objections to letting the content creator make that choice?
Yeah, but Adidas does not own their reputation.
You see, Adidas’ reputation is what people think about Adidas. Adidas’ reputation exists only in the minds of other people. To say that Adidas’ owns their reputation would mean that Adidas’ owns minds of people. No, sorry, my mind is my own, Adidas cannot claim any ownership over it.
Well, the fact that he has no right to tell me how I can use my real, tangible property (for example, my ink and my paper), in order to protect his imaginary property (a pattern of zeroes and ones).

“Yeah, but Adidas does not own their reputation.”
The hell they don’t. We ALL own our reputations.
Look, we’re too far apart of this issue…I’m done.

How can you own another person’s mind? That’s the only place where your reputation exists.
How can you force another person to think differently? Do you have a mind control device? And if you did have it, do you think it would be ethical to use it?

This is just totally untrue! I really don’t understand how you can believe this? Adidas is harmed. There is no doubt about that.

This situation requires a different approach I think. Profit taking, when it comes to essential or life-saving technologies is roughly equivalent to “your money or your life”. If that makes me a socialist then, so be it.

If there is no doubt about it, I’m sure you can present an argument that proves it.

Also wrong.
If your reputation doesn’t exist in the social/professional circles you exist it, then it’s not a reputation.
I don’t have to it’s just a fact! Anyone should be able to easily understand that concept.
What are those if not minds of other people? What is an opinion of someone if not a thought?

Rick: It’s obvious.

Okay… 
I don’t find your argument very persuading, to be frank.
I gotta go… my
