    Patent infringement, yes. But there’s also a gazillion quality control rules and forms and FDA submissions to manufacture drugs licitly. We know Walter White can control the quality, but does he have the patience to file the paperwork?

      On season 1, no, he run away from inspection all the time.

      On season 3, no, he knows where the inspector lives, and the inspector runs away from him all the time.

      On season 7, no, but he runs the FDA and makes them add bullshit requirements to impede big-pharma all the time.

      You know, I’m almost 40, a big reader, and have seen and heard “illicit” my whole life.

      I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone use licit, and that’s fascinating.
