Uhhhh, how about.
1. Big multi-national corporation buys off politicians to pass laws to protect
their business model (DMCA anyone ?)
2. Gets meter maid to enforce said law.
3. See above.
Ahhh, I see. Let's just get rid of the middle-man (government) and then the

Much more efficient I would guess.
