I mean, you don't necessarily have to make it illegal. 1. It's from hedge funds, and you can invest in a hedge fund today and reap the benefits of their strategies yourself 2. There exists a gap right now, where a startup or data analysis firm could provide this kind of information to smaller investors through some kind of subscription model. 3. Ultimately the government itself could "level the playing field" by either gathering this information through other channels and releasing it (BLS or SEC style) or by replicating the strategies and releasing it. I think #3 could be viable. We already require businesses to share very important and actionable info with the government, and since everyone does it, the risks of one firm having data leaked and another not are mitigated. (SEC requires public reports, BLS takes private data and aggregates it for higher level views) If the government required businesses to report data to them on a weekly or monthly basis regarding things that are being satellite tracked, they could release this information on a set schedule to basically demolish the ability of institutional investors to gain secret information to bet against the public positions
