No I'm not. All I know about them is what gets press coverage, which is pretty bleak. No doubt in a meta sense there's been some benefits in the concentrated pooling of resources even with strong IP litigation.

Still, what I suggest isn't unfathomable. The company doesn't even have to be altruistic...even if their sole goal is profit, I think there should be some affordances to protect them.

Given their crimes, I'd actually want to revoke their charter.

We allow people to get limited liability for joint enterprises. This is a privilege. Either we put real people in jail, or we start revoking charters.

Protecting unaccountable institutions because their greed might result in good things is a complete abdication of governance and simple common sense.
