    Internet is amazing as it makes any information (e.g. software, music, document, prices etc.) you put in it automatically abundant. Capitalism is not applicable to things that are abundant as they have 0 price. This is why we put up those “information barriers” (copyright, patents, DRM) as artificial scarcity measures to set price to information, so that investments in crating this information can be paid back and money made.
