This is the kind of pseudo-free market thinking that actually reduces to the "ones with the big guns, money, power have the right to do whatever they want" that is to my mind a big part of quite a few problems.
There is such a thing as the interest of the public around and disregarding it in whatever cause is dangerous.
I have just read Eric Flint latest essay about these topics:
"The Problem is Legal Scarcity, not Illegal Greed"
link below, and then seeing this kind of absolutist, "my way or the highway" position just seems so self-defeating as Mr. Flint points out there
