It's weird that they call them knock-offs, they're the same drug, just made by a different company with a different name.

This is bad because it will increase prices for these drugs.

Or "pirate" the drug like they do with insulin.

Insulin, and a lot of other stuff, it's pretty awesome! I watched this talk from Defcon recently. It's pretty sick.

Half way through and I’m hooked. What an amazing share. Thanks

Yeah, I thought the same! I've been waiting for an opportunity to share it around, since I think the world would be a better place if more people knew about this!
