Why does licensing mean it’s not a free market?
- HideousKojima 3y agoIt's not the licensing, but rather theat copyright is literally a government enforced monopoly on intellectual property that makes it not a free market.
- kenjackson 3y agoThanks. That makes sense.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoBecause the vast majority of content is owned by a tiny number of copyright owners (studios, IIRC, but it doesn't really matter who, just how many), who then impose artificial constraints. Netflix didn't decide to implement DRM on its own, it passed through requirements that would be imposed on anyone else too.
