Copyright law is ridiculous and abusive (thank you supreme court).
There is some role for domain knowledge, curation, and editing, but the article shows that's not what they make bucjs on: celebrity drivel, bibles, sat prep, and the copyright monopoly.
It's just a cartel, just like the music labels are.
Copyright law is so annoying and its supposed to promote quality...which we get none of. Free youtube tutorials are the best learning resource these days.
The GDP hit would be insignificant too, like <.1%.
