I don't see how this stuff is outcomes from the anti-trust case. 1) Cloud computing didn't really gain as much traction until folks started running into storage limits, which realistically was helped along by smartphones. Computing, for the average person, has changed. 2) Again, computing has changed. Some folks no longer pirate programs because free is available. Not all have ads: I'd also argue that programs are probably more available to more people because of this. I don't pay cash for many things on my phone, and I simply wouldn't. Television ads are generally more annoying and product placement in movies/shows slightly more devious. 3). Isn't this just large businesses, though? It isn't special to tech companies, nor do all of them lobby. I'd also like to add that computing in the 90's was a bit different and not as widespread: Many folks I knew simply didn't have one at home. A computer at a library, school, friend's house, or internet cafe doesn't have a lot of privacy or control either. I don't think the "control" has the same meaning for the average person as it would with most folks reading this comment here on HN, and I'm not sure it bothers most folks.
