These are the same people who say We can’t have socialism. Can’t have free stuff! There is no such thing as a free lunch, they’ll sagely add. But when it comes to the works and creations of the common folks, why, it’s an all you can eat buffet, and it’s a feeding frenzy. The future this will bring will be unstable and unpredictable. The time to regulate this is now.

The thing is, they never choose it either. Nobody considered long-term social effects. I was literally in the room. It never came up.
