I agree that regulation was a bad example. I think a more accurate example is that consumers want high quality content, but dont want to pay and don't want advertising either.

Consumers saying come up with a business plan that gives me want for free in return for nothing are in for disappointment

I don't necessarily disagree with what you are saying. But, when the price of ignoring the problem for the consumer is "disappointment", rather than "bankrupcy", it still seems to me that it is not consumers that should be particularly worried.

As a consumer, I am more interested in avoiding my disappointment, than their bankruptcy. I also understand that there are some problems that can not be solved by business alone, some will require changing consumer attitudes.
