If I were dictator for a day, here's what I'd do:
1. Software would become entirely non-copyrightable
2. Software that infringes on a patent claim would be prima facie evidence of the claim's invalidity
3. Distributing any software in a way that would violate the AGPLv3 would be illegal (with the exception that if you had access to binaries but not the full corresponding source for a program prior to this change, you could still freely distribute everything you do have afterwards), and both upstream authors and downstream recipients would have standing to sue over it
