Maybe PE needs some serious ball and chains added to it by the law to prevent playing robber baron with no consequences.

This law seems really hard to write, doesn't it? And what's Bending Spoons done that should actually be wrong? I could imagine such a law helping them. As a small company, companies Bending Spoons is making opportunity for me to build competing products at a price people actually like (in my case, it's actually IBM, but similar disregard for customers). So please, Bending Spoons, buy more companies so we can get some churn on these companies. As long as we can avoid regulatory capture.

How is that supposed to work when they are often the same people writing the laws?
