The way new drugs are discovered now is by doing thousands to million variations on a chemical substance that works, and out of those only the ones that have better effects and/or can cost less to produce are going to make it to the market as new drugs. And then they have to apply for a patent, it isn't theirs just because they made something.
I would love it if only the remixes of songs that are an improvement on the original would make it to the public.
