Nope, the issue is why we still believe that something such as exclusivity still has the possibility of existing. The idea is living on borrowed time as they say. The idea of exclusivity/copyright has been around for quite some time, first proclaimed from a soapbox then spouted by "official" sources, you might think it will take an equal amount of time to abandon the idea entirely. But we know that the rate of change is always increasing, ideas are abandoned constantly.
