>We have over 30 years of the world wide web and for these more than 3 decades this was never a problem.

Are you seriously trying to suggest copyright infringement has not been an issue over the last 30 years? Both of them are solutions to problems that we've had over the last 30 years and were created for the greater good to solve problems that developers were facing.

Grocery stores are a trillion dollar industry yet you will see stores that close due to theft being possible. The simplest way games and music struggle is losing a sale because people can play them without paying.
