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.


You think the broadcast is free even though companies paid millions of dollars for ads and
millions of dollars to produce the broadcast.

That's the part that some people just don't get; it's not free.
