"How is it anti-competitive"?
The best example is to see what has happened with music/video/book sales on Apple, Amazon, Netflix etc. These three companies have such a stranglehold on this industry that it is impossible for any artist to have any say on pricing/margins etc. As an artist, if your product doesn't appear on any of these channels, you are basically dead on the water.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoSpotify, Google, Tidal, HBO, Disney, Paramount, Comcast, etc. all exist and compete with those 3. In addition, an artist can create something and sell it on their own website. The artist (or content owner) has never had such an easy time getting access and collecting payment from the world’s population in all of history. Or sell it via Amazon or Apple. I am pretty sure Apple lets content owners set the sale price.
