[Page] 39 [My Comments] Unfortunately, this is not the dilemma as it exists today. Copyright owners would be happy if consumers whose expectations they refused to meet would “go elsewhere to have their needs satisfied by others”. What happens in practice and what copyright owners try to combat is that consumers instead of going elsewhere take from copyright owners what copyright owners are not willing to give. We cannot speak of digital abundance if the abundance exists at the expense of producers whose works are being pirated. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
An important error made by policymakers in grasping the role of copyright in the world of digital abundance is the failure to appreciate that the underlying issue is pricing, not technology. Technology creates new consumer expectations about markets; those expectations can either be met – in which case copyright owners will make money according to those new markets and new expectations – or, as is often the case now, copyright owners can refuse to meet the new expectations, in which case consumers will go elsewhere to have their needs satisfied by others.
