That is a cop out, and no fix will occur until everyone realizes it and
takes personal responsibility. Lawyers are sent into it by someone who
wants his copyright protected. Lawmakers are elected, we choose them.
Even if you did not vote that's a vote too. Money does not matter,
lawmakers are voted in by us.

What was it Pogo said, something like: "We have met the enemy and they
are us"

The collective we did this, don't try pointing elsewhere. The collective
we, one person at a time if necessary will be who fixes it.
