[Page] 39 [My Comments] It is always a pleasure to see famed libertarians quoted by someone who openly calls himself a “left-wing guy”. The purpose, of course, is to be perceived as someone balanced and objective. Consumers are not king in one very important aspect. While they can dictate what should be produced and in what quantity and quality, no collective desire of consumers can result in the creation of a specific work. It still takes a creator to produce the product. In this sense content will always be king. Whether that content is going to be welcomed by the consumers and generate income for the creator is a separate issue. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
As Ludwig von Mises pointed out, “producers do not produce tor their own consumption but for the market.” Content is not king, consumers are: “The real bosses … are the consumers. They, by their buying and by their abstention from buying, … determine what should be produced and in what quantity and quality.”
