That's an implementation problem - government should be part-of and motivated solely to solve problems for: society.

To music industry: You've exploited 'your' artists, be satisfied with that.

When do we get some kind of AI gadget which helps us water plants with BrawnDo? Perhaps a little screen on the side of the bottle with an accelerometer, voice, Bluetooth etc.

And physical stores should give equal shelf/counter space to competitors' products.

Apple store must sell all fruit etc

Math.random()

Apparently this is actually the algorithm they use to pick their next move.
