Content (audio, video, the written word, pictures) have in the past depended upon scarcity to create value and power. Movie studios and TV networks and newspapers have a huge capital investment requirement that has heretofore kept competition at bay.
The internet changed all that.
Think what the printing press did to the Catholic Church’s power when the Bible became cheap enough for a layman to own.
LOl, so everybody is now watching original, uncopyrighted home movies and listening to original, uncopyrighted home produced music?
I don't know the details of these specific laws, but every half honest person knows that the owners of copyrighted movies and music are having their rights violated on a massive scale on the internet, and with other methods of illegally copying copyrighted products.
And, NO, that was not dependent upon scarcity, except maybe the scarcity of movies and music with sufficient appeal that any significant number of people cared to listed to it or watch it.
The scarcity is, and always has been a scarcity of quality and not quantity. That scarcity still exists and always will, internet or no internet.
