If it were up to the lawyers and capitalists and not open source responding to it you'd still be paying to copy files. Imagine that? A subscription for basic utility, and removing it did not "impede competition" or "remove incentive".

But hey, if you want to, I could rig your phone and computer to pay me a dollar every time you copy or move a file, ya'know, since you're in to that stuff.
