Your rights to a business model are encoded in laws and contracts you sign with others. Unless the law changes, then yeah there are certain rights around business models. It’s not a right to avoid innovation, but it’s a right to avoid lawbreaking and contract breaking.

If IA agreed to a controlled-lending contract, it absolutely does.
