I'm hoping this might be 'steam engine time' - in this instance, a self-organized cue for 'civil disobedience'. If the system is so utterly broken that innovation is forced into stagnation - fight it! Flaunt the unjust laws, openly develop cool ideas using appropriate technologies, 'do no wrong' (in a moral sense), and FIGHT your corner. Living in the EU, I'm not quite clear on some of the legal aspects - can't defendants represent themselves in court in the US? It would be a pleasantly unbalanced situation: nominal legal fees on the individual's side, but many magnitudes higher on the opposing party's. Imagine a legal wiki, with shared experiences and legal knowledge... Why not use our common smarts and networking savvy to take on this biggest of threats to the independent developer?
