Doonesbury And Evasive Entrepreneurs

See Evasive Entrepreneurialism and Technological Civil Disobedience: Basic Definitions  by Adam Thierer of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. He is writing a book on this. This concept reminded me of a Doonesbury strip from 1986. Excerpt:

"The book documents how evasive entrepreneurs are using new technological capabilities to circumvent traditional regulatory systems, or at least put pressure on public policymakers to reform or selectively enforce laws and regulation that are outmoded, inefficient, or illogical. Evasive entrepreneurs pursue a strategy of “permissionless innovation” in both the business world and the political arena.  In essence, they live out the adage that, “it is easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission” by creating new products and services without necessarily receiving the blessing of public officials before doing so."
