Correct, the problem is capitalism and intellectual property. The capitalist system simply has no way of dealing with the fact that writing documents or spreadsheets is a thing we can more or less solve once and give to everyone for free at no additional cost. That's the reality of the situation, the problem is the idea of ownership as applied to things that can be infinitely duplicated at no cost. It's a growing disconnect between reality and the capitalist economy. I have no solution, but I know it doesn't make sense to own intangibles in the way copyright/patents/intellectual property and other bullshit like nfts are attempting to impose on a digital world the reality of which is fundamentally different from the tangible one. Creating artificial scarcity is wrong.
