we have done the same with music and digital media.
at the beginning you had to buy physical media. but then we developed a way to end scarcity and have unlimited music for free. and it was immediately turned into a crime.
i guarantee that if we invent replicators, they’ll we have DRM and licences and you’ll have to buy a license or a subscription service.
