This argument seems silly. Early innovation does not mean an end to competition, or an eternal lock on a product type.

Google's search engine would have never come into existence if their founders followed this line of thinking.



Read carefully. I'm not saying Dropbox should have a monopoly, but that the competition should be more evenly matched.


Unfortunately, when it comes to business, there is no feather-weight category. That said, Google it self overcame already entrenched competition in search through a better product and defended well against competitor with deep pockets (Microsoft).
