Because the market is already pricing it as close to zero as it can get. Today it can only serve as a tool to extract value in other areas in the chain. Question is, who's gonna extract that value? The producers and owners themselves? Sure, many will try to go down that path but they will fail. Isolating yourself on the net will not work, you need partners in the value chain. If, or rather when, you put your content into the public domain expect it to be picked up and used by whoever. If that whoever John Doe controls valuable resources in terms of fresh organic traffic you are loosing out not partnering with him on some level. What about those who control no organic resources? Well, the admission fee is getting higher by the day. Your friend is a relative democracy, just don't expect it to be easy.
