Maybe we should have a patent that allows the drug companies to recoup the development costs and earn a tidy profit of whatever we can decide is fair-- what's fair? a couple hundred %? After they earn a certain amout the patent should expire. This might work better than the current make as much as you can in so many years model.
My first online purchase was Lollapalooza tickets in June of 1996. I seem to remember such a link in the confirmation email. I remember that the Lollapalooza.com site was one of the first big shockwave sites I had ever seen and we ordered the tickets from the site but I can't remeber if it was ticketmaster or the promoters themselves. Either way check ticketmaster or the wayback machine for Lollapalooza.com
