Yet you have much better chances and much higher freedom than in any other sector.
Try starting a logging business, when other people have already laid claim to the forests. Try agriculture when other people have laid claim to the land. Try contracting with the government, when the rules say you need to prove previous government contracts to be eligible. That's real world issues.
Cloning and blackmailing of online businesses are not such big threats that they can effectively stop somebody from making a good online business. If you're honest, have a good idea, and put in some hard work you have a fair chance of success. In some other sectors, those factors can amount to nothing - and all the threats you listed apply to offline businesses as well.
