I don't care if I get down voted for my opinions on the internet :). My view on it is simple... The way the current internet is set up, it'd be really difficult to make these types of projects profitable.
Even if you make more laws, it'd be super hard to find people violating said laws, and even harder to bring them into court as a company struggling to get started. Big and even medium size companies play these games all day.
To be clear I think we need fewer laws. Specifically I think IP laws need to be abolished.
Software development, academic research, et cetera should be done in the open and public domain. Less monopoly profits for a few, better information and software for all.
