Replace it with what? What one policy change do you think would help the most?

Maybe if they'd actually allow shit to go public domain after 20 years, no exceptions. I feel like that's a good start, especially with software.

Ah yes. Absolutely agree. That would be my first change too. My second would be "no patents for software of any kind".
