This is an evergreen story. Regulations sold as weapons for davids to defend against goliaths are instead used by goliaths to fend off davids. It turns out that Goliath can learn to use a sling too, and can hurl bigger stones with it. This is why goliaths like regulations so much, and why patents may be more disease than cure.

Yes, thank you. Tried to find the relevant article using algolia but couldn't remember the exact thread.

FYI: I used algolica and limited the search to comments in the past week and searched for the term "davids" (without quotes).
