Nothing, if the persons involved do not wish to participate in any religion. The key difference: religious involvement is voluntary, state
involvement not so much.
Forming a private cooperative to build their own internet infrastructure seems like a perversion of the crony capitalist system that is the foundation of western society.
Ever hear of the Common Agricultural Policy? These "farmers" (0.5% of the UK population owns over 60% of the land) receive around â5 billion a year---just for owning "farmland"!
To begin with, the offers from the first player were much lower. In addition, when on the receiving end of the game, the Machiguenga rarely refused even the lowest possible amount. "It just seemed ridiculous to the Machiguenga that you would reject an offer of free money," says Henrich.
"They just didn't understand why anyone would sacrifice money to punish someone who had the good luck of getting to play the other role in the game."
But the following proviso is misguided: "It doesn't matter whether the algorithms are biologically realistic--what matters is that they work--the behavior they produce."
The basic algorithm to produce human behavior is essentially biological:
10: Wine
20: Women
30: Song
40: GOTO 10
Sex, drugs and rock & roll for you hipsters out there (and quit trespassing on my lawn to collect magic mushooms).
The first fire-sharer was Prometheus. His punishment was getting his liver pecked at by an eagle every morning. NZD616 doesn't sound so bad in comparison.
In fact, the Prometheus myth is uncannily applicable to the current IP situation:
(a) He didn't actually steal fire, but rather replicated it (causing no loss to its owners on Mt. Olympus).
(b) He benefited mankind by sharing it.
(c) He got a totally incommensurate punishment from the jealous "guardians" of this easily replicable thing.

France's nuclear power infrastructure can now be decommissioned, as they have coupled all the turbine generators to Voltaire's grave.
What business do religions have with marriage?

What business does the state have regulating marriage per se?

The big corporations were way ahead of the curve.

"Projections" by central bank economists are not actually meant to predict outcomes, but rather to manage expectations.
But is it? What if someone set up a fund? Every $1 you contribute costs them roughly $400

Google can afford to "persuade" each member of the ITU to vote to its benefit (rent-seeking).
On the other hand, maybe Google thinks it has amassed enough clout to go it alone and dictate its terms directly.
