SEPTOCT T - EffectsTournament: Jack Howe | Round: 2 | Opponent: Fremont TK | Judge: Brett Boelkens Interpretation – the plan must directly reduce intellectual property rights for medicineViolation: The plan doesn't reduce an existing IPR but creates a new restriction, e.g. "by limiting drug innovators to one market exclusivity of their choice for their drug"Vote neg for limits: there can be a thousand plans that create new restrictions which result in intellectual property right restriction. There's no way to predict affs if they can tangentially result in ip reduction. Evaluate the plan text in a vacuum—it isn't a reduction of an IPR, so they literally don't defend the resolution which is the only stasis for limits and predictability.Topicality should be a voting issue evaluated through competing interpretations—reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention that takes the debate out of the hands of the debaters. Pre-round prep has already been skewed which means the only remedy is to drop the debater. | 9/18/21 |

We aren't stopping them from reading new FWs, mechanisms, or advantages.
