This is true. The monopoly IS the root cause. Everything else is just governments and people trying to interpret it in ways that benefit them and trying to fight it off in whatever way they can. If the tech companies want to maintain their monopolies, they will have to pay a social tax in some way or another - one of the good ways I think is to compensate creators very well. That way, they are still helping a lot of local businesses and people and will continue to have a lot of support. If they don't come up with something to generate a lot of goodwill, then governments will force them to pay in other way, and what governments will come up with will be a lot more complex and inefficient.
