"Which is more important, a robust public domain, or the well-being of private interests?"

Is this even a question? Private interests own the government, and the public doesn't give a shit. The question is completely absurd. It's like asking: "Is zero less than infinity?"

Corporations own the government, and make the government legislate whatever they want, whenever they want, regardless of public interest. This is a fact. I get tired of reading articles where people seem to ponder this point, there's no doubt about it. I wonder if all the people who write articles like this read the constitution and think "ooooh, this is nice! I'm happy to be in a country that follows these rules!"
