MODERATORS
Exactly. They are trying to enforce scarcity on digital products despite the ability to copy them quickly and easily at very low cost, energy-wise. Great observation.
A lot of energy is being used for DRM and encryption that only exists to create false digital scarcity. Capitalists don't care about climate change or the future so they would rather burn energy trying to stop piracy than providing a better product.
