The Reich op-ed is good but also a bit... hmmm. Weird to call out IP specifically and then completely miss the point.

-
and actually, that large IP lawsuits levied against technology companies have a significant chill on smaller entrants in the marketplace
-
and I'm just talking about IP here because it's my wheelhouse. I also wonder to what extent the rise of Amazon is reliant on previous steps
-
Would I still be inclined to order toilet paper off Amazon if it weren't that there's only *really* 3 manufacturers of toilet paper
-
2 of which are owned by the Koch brothers, with the 1 remaining owned by Satan AND the Koch brothers

@sarahjeong so you're saying there's a market for hand-rolled, local, artisanaly crafted TP? -

@sarahjeong It's a self-sustaining circle: big companies lobby for stronger IP protections; stronger IP makes companies artificially big -
The issue with this op-ed is that it assumes that big companies make rules like too-strong IP, and thus breaking up co's is the solution
-
But the IP rights themselves are what allow companies to assert undue, anticompetitive dominance…
-
…and IP rights are exempt from traditional antitrust analysis, with rare exception (see FTC v. Actavis), even if they cause the same harms
-
That being said, the op-ed isn't really about IP, but rather about making the (correct) point that free markets depend on regulation
-
Also this is what I'm talking about http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/20/opinion/is-big-tech-too-powerful-ask-google.html …
