Hold up (seriously hold up and stop serially editing your comments), where did I say it did?

> It's a similar concept

The government has decided, without much input from actual citizens, that copyright should exist for life plus 70 years. Government interference in copyright has created the fraudulent market conditions you've just related.

We can do this all day if you like.

I can still give you a fake repair manual subscription with or without copyright.

Yeah, or even a (fake) catalog of flavors from the subscription-based Ice Cream of The Month club, where X months of continuous membership entitles you to something that didn't actually exist.

I wouldn't consider dairy-product safety/labeling laws a root-cause of that.

Technically.. sure.. you can also sell buggy whips. If there's no market for what you are selling then why would anyone buy it?
