We would think that by such time people would have figured out artificial solar shading to keep the planet at a nice stable temperature for a long time. This could even be decades-away technology.

Private property? If you were to implement such a measure, it further encourages black markets, since the demand will still be there. A bad consequence can even be the destruction of art from either: hiding a crime or harder access to legit

If anything, Google's desire to reinvent the world has held them back here. They could have just forked OpenJDK and made their lives easier, in retrospect. Into this went their irrational fear of GPL (describing it as 'viral'

A laser capable of propelling an interstellar probe is also a mighty space weapon. Some people proposed constructing that on the far side of the Moon so that it hass less of a chance of being used as against Earth targets (intentionally or

Large companies are not endangered by patent lawsuits, not even from trolls. They have enough power to fight most suits and even when they lose it's not a big sting. Patent portfolios allow the giants to consolidate their position and

The Moon should grant a little more protection than the ISS since you can shovel regolith on top. As far as the raw radiation environment, it's about the same, in both cases half the sky is covered by a large planetary body. The Earth&
