Unfortunately, the government was never the good guy, either. It's meant to be a voice for the people, but it almost never is. We need to become educated enough as an entire population to keep companies in line ourselves, because governments side with corporations more often than not.

Yep. The ESA just straight up lied to the consumer protection committee of the California Assembly, claiming that private Minecraft servers are "Illegal piracy," and the board bought that shit, hook, line, and sinker.

The government is supposed to be that mechanism, but idiots keep being paid to think that capitalism is best, and the industries should regulate themselves because the pros know better, and that's totally why lobbying is a good idea and not literally legalized bribery!

The governments suck because we let the bad people get away with their greed, and now they've bought their way deep into governments. Governments don't serve the people solely because good people do not know how to be bad to bad people. ... and that greedy fuckhead capitalists are also bad people.
