This is same as BitTorrent did to software/music industries. “Piracy is not steal”, “music labels are too rich”. Spin it all you want. The original business model are built on certain level of difficulty to duplicate the product.

Once it’s gone, building them is fool’s errant. Now you have only SaaS that guts you for little feature and adware that made you the product. All of which are only possible by corps with billions of funding.

Bad incentive, bad outcome. It’s just this time we are the receiving end of the “progress”

I’m not sure that your analogy makes any sense in this context, particularly given that the result of what you described has been ever increasing record industry profits.

After the MP3 record labels no longer provided value.

They only made sense when the limitation was delivering physical objects to stores.
