We regulate it like how we did centuries ago that lead to copyright. If we already have rules we enforce it. If no one in power wants to, we put in people who will.

In the end this all comes down to needing the people to care enough.

Disney continued to lobby to extend copyright for like half a century. A lot of people did care. What use is regulation if you can just buy it?
>a lot of people did care

As did Disney, apparently.

I don't like it either, but it still comes down to the same issues. We vote in people who can be bought and don't make a scandal out of it when it happens. The first step to fixing that corruption is to make congress afraid of being ousted if discovered. With today's communication structure, that's easier than ever.

But if the people don't care, we see the obvious Victor.
