Eliminate copyright. It offers no benefits in the modern world (with the internet) that aren't far outweighed by the cost of information to the people and shenanigans like this.
Democracy be damned, it's literally impossible for everything not to become open-source in the future. As long as copyright continues to exist, more and more things will be locked up under it and there will be less and less capacity to do any real work. Copyright was originally created to incentivise production of creative works *for the good of society* and it has now become the opposite of that, and will necessarily be removed if we want to move beyond the point of everything being a legal battle, which is also inevitable if society is to survive at all.
I've been waiting for this for a long while, but blockchain wasn't ready, and now they have to make it easy for the typical user. I'd be interested to see what everyone thinks is the most likely to catch on of current Open/Decentralised Web projects.
