Big Pharma Continues to be Big Evil

Reuters reports that big pharma companies are pushing the US government to bring pressure on India over drug licensing. The issue is not over whether or not a patent can be granted; it's just that India has some requirements that patented life-saving medicines should be subject in some circumstances to compulsory licensing. Drug companies still get to hold monopolies and make money, just not as much money.

Or, you know, they could pressure the Indian government, the US government (in secret, of course) and let more people die. Evil, soulless Mammonites. If I could I'd give every one of them the Midas curse.
