Restricting laws are always costly: Environment laws for example -- how costly it is, not to be able to pollute the air, the water, the people. Have filters, have restrictions, use of alternative fuels ... this all costs. And reduces the growth rates of our economies .... Better remove those laws and instead install strict intellectual property laws with unrestricted duration of protection.
That is, how (capitalistic) economy works: Put the costs of the business on the shoulder of many (the people of the country) and the benefits (the profits) on few people.
