Comment on Why The Copyright Industry Isn’t a Legitimate Stakeholder in Copyrightparent

Comments

The bulk of economics is against you. In a competitive market, prices fall to the marginal cost of production. That's almost axiomatic. One only has to look to fashion markets, where the leading players have almost zero monopoly power and to PC hardware markets.

What you're implicitly advocating is setting prices without regard to market forces, without regard to the value that consumers place on a good, without regard to increasing efficiency of production via price competition. At best this is short sighted, at worst it kills entire markets.
