Money is a system that affects everyone, and some people's lives *will* be screwed by the breaking of the patent law.
Philosophical as you said, ethical as well. Personally I don't think that anyone's life in Roche will be screwed up, just imagine if Brazil decided not to produce a drug at all. AIDS is a serious pandemic disease, Roche is a rich company holding many patents, many lives in Brazil will be saved. Breaking that patent law is an exeption.

Including net congestions, no wonder if their mail servers are M$ based. Yup! The story is probably true.
Of course I gotta find out what technology they are using so I can send letters supporting Linux when I'm dead and gone too :)
Letters that came from dead folk probably were sent via very slow modem, so the letters are bit late.
