For instance, the only reason iTunes is successful instead of Napster is
because most of the content on Napster is/was protected by copyright, one
can't legally exchange copyright protected songs or software via
Napster. Take away the legal restrictions, and the Napster model is
clearly superior to the iTunes model which is why the free market created
Napster when the RIAA refused to create a system for delivering songs over
the Internet. Instead of songs we have messages, and you see why people
want a free system to exchange messages.
Well, then your analogy raises the question, will people accept pay mail
system over "free" mail systems when it is 100% spam free, always, forever?
It doesnt have the same legal consequences, yet still its intriguing
because of its benefit.
