@IsaacDFP: What if everyone thinks like you? Don't you think that will SEVERELY limit the kind of apps/games that are produced?
All your examples are bunk and are merely examples of where a passion can become a profession. The majority of people do stuff they don't really enjoy because somebody has to do it and the incentive to get them to do it is to pay them with cash which they can buy services elsewhere.

Yes I do and I completly support it. Why do we need 100 different media players? Why do we need dozens of different web browsers? Why do we need a never-ending continuation of The Sims games?
Imagine Nokia/Intel/Microsoft/Apple/Google were ALL working TOGETHER to create 1 brand of phone (with different characteristics like keyboard, nokeyboard, flip, slider, with essential the same common basics) with 1 OS using the best of each other's ressources and technology...don't you think they would the best the world has ever seen?

see also: brook's law
see also: free market
see also: competition is good
see also: point #1 of my post above
ps: under your worldview, there would be no Nokia\Google\Apple\etc; because they get no incentive to invent, innovate and create new things.

To resume, no, there is no way that a free market could ever exist. It is impossible.
Actually no, it's not impossible but it will only self-destruct in a very short period of time.

You are very confused. Monopoly and Cartel is the opposite of Free Market.

By that definition, you are either saying:
1) We currently do not have free market

1. incomplete understanding of the market (and how the world works in general).. this is usually from people who don't work.
2. people who cannot afford content that they want, so they rationalize an excuse to get it for free.
