Again...most of these responses are "coulda-shoulda-woulda" in nature...
So the idea you have is that you charge what the market will bear. OK. Fine.
So what's the complaint? This is what i just do NOT get. All businesses have loss thru out the chain. Why is it that digital folks seem to believe their loss is so much a greater tragedy when it is balanced by the reduction of manufacturing and transport in the first place?
And you can continue to go on about government-granted false monopolies of non-material resources (Ha!) all you like, but I'm telling you...that is not a forever solution. Perhaps you'll be dead before it is undone, but it will be undone.
I personally believe that there is a market based solution to the issue, likely in the form of some sort of digital cartel...
