You are deliberately devoting energy and resources towards removing value that already existed in your product.
If you want to charge rent (via a subscription service etc), then do that, and be clear that you're in the business of charging rent. Don't conflate selling with renting - that just leads to a product gimping death spiral.

If your assertion is that you will lose in economic competition if you make certain information publicly accessible, why are you publicly providing that information while expecting to make money from it in the first place? To me, it sounds like your business lacks some fundamentals.
