the TV industry is not competitive. its oligopoly. its so bad that cablevision recently won an OK to go forward with an anti-trust suit accusing viacom of uncompetitive practices by forcing cable companies to carry 14 shit shannels in order to carry 4 good channels.
its the shenanigans of the "content creators" that is the root cause of overpriced cable in the first place.
so this ruling is only protecting a corporate golden egg that fleeces the consumer.

Always interesting to see how others view the world. I have the opposite opinion but I respect your right to have yours.
That said,
Big or small .. this represents prior case law from SCOTUS. So it does protect "content creators" of all sizes.
