> it doesn't inherently entitle you to anything else besides the value of that first copy
What if many people want to buy a copy but nobody wants to be the first because he'd pay the full cost and the others could get the next copy for free? What if they instead agree to share the cost equally?
But then this group doesn't wanna be the first because the next group could get it for free? So what if they get the whole country together and agree to share the cost?
How much? They agree to determine that by supply and demand.
Congratulations, we're just reinvented copyright laws.
Anarchists and especially ancaps never game things out in their heads because they'd arrive at some variation of the current system. Sad because they usually could come up with an improved version. But they choose to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
