The best way for people with money and resources to make more money is for you to rent from them. This seems to be a depressing fact about modern capitalism ranging from digital media to apartments. If you have something scare that you control (or that you can potentially make scare via legal maneuvers), don’t just sell it once, sell it multiple times to the same person.

This situation seems like it will further devolve as it is a fantastic business model and is making rich people a lot of money. I don’t see how we close Pandora’s box because fixing the problem of usury and the negative impact it has on free people is older than modern society.
