This is equivalent to suggesting (in a world without IP law) that the supporters of such a system ought to start competing firms that refuse to copy things without providing compensation in order that the competition might demonstrate the benefits of the system. Of course without the regulation neither of those systems is likely to be part of a viable business model.

That said I agree with your second paragraph. I think we will see an explosion of high quality niche products that would never have been remotely viable before this.
