My counterargument to that is that businesses do not need protection to function, certainly not as much as they are given. In fact, the amount of "protection" given to large businesses today is nothing more but the result of a runaway process of allowing businesses to acquire too much power, which they can use to rig the system in order to acquire even more. Businesses are a good and necessary concept, but that does not mean they are above the people. Businesses are servants of the people and of society. To get back on the topic at hand, businesses should definitely not get special allowance to use some technology that "ordinary" people are outlawed from using. That is a path to disaster.
