 Bureaucracy 
Having recently moved from DC to Virginia, I just had my initial encounter with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, which turned out to be the equal of the DC DMV in arrogant obfuscationalism. Since DC DMV is legendary, I was impressed.

Those who think the solution to IP problems is to have the government collect a tax on Internet hardware and connectivity and dole the money out to creators should spend some time hanging out at a DMV.
