Not the same, those directly compete. We all know IP doesn't work like this.

If you say you want Mexican food and I say Restaurant X is closed but we can go to Y, that's probably fine.

If you say you want to watch ratatouille and I say no, but we can watch ratatouing, which is 2 bucks at the DVD graveyard bin at Walmart, you'll say no.

Sounds like you are arguing for shorter copyright terms.

Surely, if I make a movie, I should have the right to sell it.

I mean, yes?

We know that copyright leads to anti-competitive behavior because that's literally why we invented it.

So when people tell you that obviously media is not a free market, you shouldnt be surprised. It was designed that way and anybody will tell you that.
