If that happens, prices may have to go up, that mathematical. Currently lots of people bought digital stuff they don’t need anymore. If they resell, people buying it don’t need to buy it from somewhere else.
I know it’s not really a zero sum game, but it’s obvious it would have a significant impact.
And I’m not even talking about media, which I’m sure some platform would start mass renting/selling in a fully automated fashion (upload all your licenses, watch whatever you want anytime because there will always be somewhere a license which is unused and a copy of the movie which is not actively watched at this moment). Basically they would only sell as many copies as the peak number of simultaneous watchers…
That would be amazing actually.
- cesarb 2y ago> If that happens, prices may have to go up, that mathematical. I'd expect the opposite: competition between the "used" and the "new" markets would drive prices down, not up. Mathematically, you'd be increasing the supply, while keeping the demand nearly the same, which in the traditional supply and demand model means lower prices.
