Jup, gp was talking about unregulated markets. Those surprisingly often have winner take it all outcomes. I don't want to go back to company towns.

BTW back to the current situation with streaming services, we nearly would have had the same with movie theaters. But United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. shut that down, thankfully. Wouldn't expect such a ruling these days, though :(

It isn't an unregulated market. Copyright is a regulation.

There are no unregulated markets. Property rights are a regulation.

> If we don't regulate streaming services to have exactly one really good service that I prefer, then we will go back to company towns.

What are you talking about?
