    Laws are just rules rich people have paid for. At least most of the laws. This concerns how the future of our society looks like.

    And no, this hasn’t always been like this. “Intellectual property” has only been a thing for the last 70 years or so.

      This…is an example of laws actually being applied to a wealthy corporate actor exactly as they are and have been applied to random ass individuals? What are you talking about.

      Also, patents literally predate the US’ founding, and copyright is hundreds of years old, moreover IP rights are enshrined in the constitution. Again, like, what???
