Some things to advocate for to counter the direction we've been going in.

1. Termination of WIPO Copyright Treaty (prerequisite for #2)

2. Repeal of DMCA. (primarily because of Section 1201)

3. Enact and enforce, Right to ownership, Right to repair laws.

4. Enforce antitrust laws. / Break up monopolies.

> 4. Enforce antitrust laws. / Break up monopolies.

I've given up hope of politically-appointed prosecutors ever doing a thorough and effective job of this. Sure there are some high-profile cases (AT&T, Standard Oil, Microsoft (almost), Google (maybe), etc) but the vast majority go unprosecuted.

There are really only two ways to fix the antitrust disaster:

1. Private right of action (like RICO) for the Sherman Act -- let nonprofits and individuals file the charges. This takes the implicit pardon power away from politically-appointed prosecutors.

2. Graduated corporate income tax, which creates a natural diseconomy of scale. The income tax code already contains a decades-old mechanism (search for "common control" in the IRC) to prevent evasion using shell-company shenanighans. It's very well tested, it works, and it has been working since the 1980s -- mainly to prevent US persons from evading the extra requirements for owning controlling interests in foreign corporations.

You got my vote! Too bad there isn't any way to actually vote for this (and that is by design.)
