Advertising is ruining the internet.
Copyright and patent laws shouldn’t even exist.

Copyright, with a reasonable term (say, 14 years) is potentially useful in preserving author’s rights to profit from their own works. Patent laws should be applied far more strictly with respect to prior art and what constitutes a significant innovation, and should never be applied to algorithms. “Same as X, but ON THE INTERNET!” patents should be rejected in every case.
