Why? We’re not talking about food, water or the environment. There is where laws should be enacted or enforced.
- scyzoryk_xyz 5y agoWell technically the way I understand it, all the law should be enacted and enforced everywhere. This is a classic 'culture is not important, doesn't matter' line of thinking. Cultural products influence people a great deal. Especially when they are young. If monopoly power is influencing culture, the way it can with any industry by incentivizing low-quality or bad pricing, then it should be to some extent over-seen.

Culture is important and so is entertainment but the later is not always the former, and none is vital. There’s plenty of unmonopolized cultural options and one could even argue that much more benefiting than big blockbusters, it’s like worrying that pizza hut would monopolize the pizza market and losing nutritional values in the community.
- scyzoryk_xyz 5y agoWell for one in this context you could say that I’m interested in the pizza and how it’s harder to find a good Neapolitan pizza place and all the mom’n’pop pizza places are being strangled to death. It’s an interesting phenomenon, not necessarily something to be “worried” about.
