I didn't say "utopia". We need IP laws. But since we continue to let Disney (and other mega corporations) dictate the entire terms of engagement - we need to bring "burning the whole thing down and starting over" into the list of options under consideration. It's the only way to bring Disney back to the bargaining table, at minimum.
Edit: A more practical approach would be to disolve every company that has engaged in an illegal merger (most large US companies). But I think that's actually harder to accomplish, today, than voiding all IP law. It's a better option, if we can swing it. The necessary laws are already on the books, they're simply un-enforced.
