> physical goods can generally not be pirated! How does the 'economy' work for your Milk and Cereal producers? Just fine. Also, if those could be pirated we had the solution to hunger, I think solving that is way better than some profits. Same applies to any kind of good. If it's easily recreated at home, wouldn't it be nice? The possibilities for humans would be utopian. But obviously that can't apply to digital goods right? Money/capitalism should be about _generating_ value, not _capturing_ value. They are very different things. I'm pretty sure that the Mafia does indeed have some benefits, but they are still keeping the population hostage. Same applies to digital goods, to IP, to Copyright. No doubt there are benefits, but in the current landscape, we are just "serfs" of proprietary software, DRM, closed AIs, etc. All about moats and value _capturing_. Thank god for lock in!
