I mean, online resources on other peoples' servers cost money.
A better law would be to forbid "free" offerings by companies. They all are fraudulent "free", since you pay a commercial entity with either money or data. And, corporate "free" rarely stays free.
(This also doesn't have to be a new law, but application of false and deceptive advertising relating to the FTC, around the term of "free".)
Edit: Found the rule, already in FTC's federal regs: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/chapter-I/subchapter-B...
or they use "free" to nuke competitors from orbit, salt the ground to ensure nobody can get a dime for a decade in this industry, hoard all the expertise then increase your pricing by orders of magnitude like it happened with Google Maps.
