      just thought that the concept of “replicator will end scarcity” is wrong.

      we have done the same with music and digital media.

      at the beginning you had to buy physical media. but then we developed a way to end scarcity and have unlimited music for free. and it was immediately turned into a crime.

      i guarantee that if we invent replicators, they’ll we have DRM and licences and you’ll have to buy a license or a subscription service.
