Pricing per byte doesn't work as it undervalues or overvalues items.
To get more money out of this system people will make their items larger. For example a movie or track might only be available in its high resolution uncompressed form because that form is the one that has the highest total price.
> Pay 0.001 USDC per 1MB of a movie
A DVD contains about 5700MB at that rate it would be 5.7 USD. No publisher is going to post a DVD size version when they can get 307.2 USD for the 300GB Blu-ray upscale.
