As an extension to this comment, digital media is a perfect example of pure artificial scarcity. You can at least imagine a world where food or homes are scarce, it's not our world, but it can be imagined. The same is not true of distributing digital media, and yet it's still artificially scarce.
Without scarcity in capitalism things lack value. That is extremely problematic.
