Idiot. WHO decides whats illegal. Not HOW MANY laws. And if you really believe its that simple you are naive as fucking premier Neville Chamberlain.
Yeah, and talk to the lower echelons of Microsoft, the factory workers, the cleaners etc and you will get the view of Microsoft as being an oppresive government that does not pay enough and that has no democracy at all. Are we going to cite anectdotal evidence? Because if we just count inovations and look who has developed them then governments come far ahead of private companies. Maybe its just your government that is largely ineffectual? And no, patent-holders are not inovators by default (since patents are a commodity that is bought and sold and companies tends to outbuy them so they can strangle the competition). For a capitalist you seem to have a fairly weak grasp of how it works.
