SCOTUS handed a win to the forces holding back technological advancement, price gouging customers & doing everything they can to give consumers as few options as possible so they can charge monopoly prices to deliver ESPN to your home, whether you want ESPN or not.
if you can articulate what good this judgement does for consumers & small producers, im all ears.

Small producers, as you said are covered in the ruling. It will be up to small/smaller producers to extract the benefits from the ruling.
Give a lawyer 5 minutes and he will figure out how to monetize this ruling. I am sure Barry won't take this lying down.
I am assuming you have a complete understanding as to how tv content is produced and paid for correct?
