Sorry, I was kidding about "what entity". The same entity that traditionally steps in to solve the needs that otherwise are not met due to tragedy of the commons -- government. Patents, copyright protections (yes, they're screwed up now, but better than without), infrastructure like roads or postal mail historically. Just that US legislative process is spinning its wheels at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
