I'd argue that for most types of content the modern problem is the abundance of creative effort (orders of magnitude more good content being created globally than anyone can consume) because of the global scaling so the major social problems for arts are the curation and discovery of the abundant creative effort, not securitization of some actually scarce resource. A particular piece of art or a particular author's work becomes scarce only due to social factors e.g. their work becoming "hot" among the uncountable other equally good works which aren't noticed or cared about for random reasons, not because such work is inherently scarce.
