No laws <-———— Good laws, upheld by courts -————> Draconian Laws Favoring the Elites
You may notice I implicitly supported laws on the model of the Law of Queen Anne and the Statute on Monopolies of 1662 in my post.
But there is another state, not shown on your continuum: Bad (including draconian) laws favored by rent-seeking elites and upheld by courts and cemented by international treaties. And it is this state in which copyright and patent law currently rests.
You seem to have forgotten that courts can be suborned by commercial interests.
