With such an innovative idea, even a nonprofit or a cash-strapped start-up company can have a chance in competing against big pharma as well as the well-oiled machinery of the established think-tanks.

By allowing everyone to have an equal access to groundbreaking research without having to dish out millions of dollars, no innovative minds will ever get discouraged with sharing their two cents worth.
For sure, the world will be a much better place when industries and other disciplines adhere to the tenet that the best things in life are still free. Even something as simple as free Wi-Fi connectivity or free skating, all this can go a long way in counteracting the ill effects of capitalism.
