Copyright is the antithesis of free market by allowing a monopoly on distribution and exploitation of some resource.

Some parts of the gaming industry did, the vast majority still won’t provide content drm free.

If they could figure a way to make you pay without providing any service at all they absolutely would.

Frankly I’m horrified that it would go that way and wasn’t aware there were cases like this with sound alike voice actors unless the voice was misleading stated to be of someone it wasn’t.

Do they pay people for use of their voice when they get a cheaper voice actor in who sounds just like them?

Remember how a few years ago 3d displays and VR were being shoved in everyone’s faces? I can see the current “AI” trend going the same way.

There is more than one type of water, but unless your IoT device is a fusion reactor it’s probably just running off the normal blend.

Your average computer user is mainly using it for interacting with various web based services and playing media. Don’t need good input methods for that so tablets are a cheaper and easier to maintain alternative to a laptop.

Can’t see how it can, it’s not like if that money isn’t spent on entertainment then it’s just lost, it’s just spent on other goods and services or put in savings that the banks loan out to other people to generate economic activity. Unless people are literally burning the money or exclusively spending it on foreign goods and services it’s not costing the economy per se.
