Regulation is necessary, but not sufficient. We need a reform of #IPR:
Knowledge that governs us must no longer be allowed to remain secret, must not be allowed to be lost, and must not be monopolizable: In patent law, it is a matter of course that the "secret" becomes public after 18 MONTHS and FREE after 20 years
In 1994, the United States deliberately (mis)placed software under copyright law -> #TRIPS & #WTO, thereby enabling the global monopolies we suffer from today.
