capitalism

The best thing about capitalism is that it's inherently voluntary. By nature, nobody forces you to do anything (in principle at least). For example, it's common knowledge that fast food chains ridiculously overprice drinks to make up for cheap food. Most people of course buy drinks, so they don't go out of business, but if you're smart you're free to take advantage of the masses in this sense and save money.

Or of course you can simply choose not to participate at all, for example if you don't like what the MPAA is doing.

The only problems of capitalism are the corner cases where this breaks down: specifically, where a corporation is able to make alternatives effectively impossible. It's always in the best interests of the corporations to limit competition, of course. In this sense, capitalism is inherently unstable; it encourages corporations to undermine the free market which makes capitalism possible. On the other hand, you might simply call this "finely-tuned responsiveness." Many systems (like democracy and free speech) which foster competitive ideologies tend to be surprisingly resilient.
