I just wanted to point out that it is still quite relevant that the marginal
cost is not zero. Say "approaches zero" or "very low constant marginal cost"
to be more accurate. It is important because just how close to zero the cost
is (like copying a movie costs me -in the economic sense - more than copying
a movie) will affect how we calibrate our policies, both privately and
publicly.
