The code works on iPhones/iPads too with gestures, but it doesn't seem they implemented it on iphone.newsweek.com. Or perhaps they disabled that - they seem to have disabled it on their main as well.
What it means is they'd have to focus on the thing they have that can't be copied: their skill and talent. In other words, their labor.
But who's going to pay someone to create a product they can't sell? I think reducing this to case a abundancy/scarcity might be oversimplifying the issue.
We might need a novel system of middlemen to pick the wheat from the chaff, or a new payment model to allow millions of individual gamers to fund development rather than a handful of investors, but there's no reason to think selling copies is the only way to make money.
Doesn't the current system already fund this development?
