Artificial scarcity is not an ethical or legal principle, but an economic one. Because 1s and 0s can be "copied almost infinitely", in order to make money on it one has to enforce an artifical constraint on the number of copies that are allowed to be made.

Good customer service and a deep understanding of specific technical issues are not trivially reproducible.
