Are you one of those people that thinks that repeating your opinion is the same thing as making an argument?
It makes sense because it works. It's familiarity gives it broad acceptance and understanding. That has enabled it to be instantly and widely implemented and has allowed it to be the mechanism for the development and growth of a huge amount of content, and for the growth of the economy and the standard of living, spreading from the developed world out.
It makes sense because as a society of law and reason, we CAN assign a value to the rights of access even if there is no natural tie to scarcity.
And, if you MUST bring scarcity into it for some reason (which you seem to claim to understand that we need not do), it still works because you can work in, as variable in the value calculation, the very limited and irreplaceable time that human being have available to them that they spend to create the intellectual property that we are selling access to.
And it also makes sense because the resources used to market, distribute and otherwise manage the content are indeed finite.
That's why it make sense.
Now, can you tell me why you think it doesn't? Can you come up with a better model, and way to get it broadly accepted?
Or do you just want to repeat your opinion again?
