I do think it's a market forces issue. But it's an issue where forces don't align with societal value (which I think is an extremely common problem in the modern economy). Back when musicians/publishers had real leverage over who could access their music/content by means of their control over the media holding these, it was in some ways easier for them to make money. It's the gatekeepers that manage to extract rents from the system, and it's hard for any single artist/intellectual to do anything about that, and if multiple try to do something about it together there's always going to be an incentive to defect or not join that effort in the first place.
