How can a country without an anti-circumvention law handle its first trade-deal with USA?
Inspired by Cory Doctorow's Post-American Internet proposition [1], I'm thinking of the day when Iran's theocratic government falls, and the new political system starts normal economical relationship with the world.
Not only #Iran does not have any kind of anti-circumvention law, it is the biggest economy that is not a signatory to the Bern convention on copyright. Nevertheless, it has a relatively advanced and self-sufficient domestic IT world, with services for maps, video streaming, cloud services, finance, ride hailing, etc. At some point in 2021 ArvanCloud, an Iranian IT company, was the 8th highest-traffic CDN in the world.
So how would you build the almost-non-existent outward-facing economy of a big country, without falling into the usual trap of #enshittification?
Your ideas are very welcome. I would very much also like to know what Cory @npub1fdr…lvhs thinks about this :)
