When technology inventors have to explain themselves to content producers in order to not have their product killed, something has gone horribly wrong with the world.

I certainly agree with your second statement, that getting content producers on your side can give you strong supporters and users, but that should only represent a marketing/growth issue, not an existential threat.

Not if those technology "inventors" want to make money from said content.


This technology "inventor" made no money.

He merely ran an unprofitable service that helped lenders lend their books in exchange for being lent a book. Also, he got lynched for it.

I almost cannot imagine the amount of stress this must be causing him.
