Dear patent attorney,
Ever heard of copyrights?
Also, the only reason that the big guys can steamroll over the little guys is because the various governments involved aren't doing their job of upholding EXISTING laws with meaningfull effect (no Sir, your way of bussines conduct that's earning you billions is illegal so I order you to pay a significantly less fine which we will then use to buy new licenses from you. Duh, that'll change their behaviour alright. Not.).
So no amount of NEW laws will solve the problem of big guys steamrolling little guys as long as something isn't done about the cause of the problems. Symptom fighting will only make a few new people richer. It won't solve the problem.
