IMO this is not an issue of the basics of copyright, but rather about the technical details of the Big Media's business model of limiting the sources where consumers get their content, limiting their ability to pay only for the channels they want, & grossly overcharging for said service.

If the government was as helpful to small copyright holders as it is to the billionaire ones, i would likely have no problem with the ruling. But to me the ruling is only an assist to a limited number of entites that are hampering innovation in content delivery & price gouging their customers.

of course the consumer is slowly fighting back by turning to netflix hulu etc. but Big Media & telecom companies are MERGING, & they are in the process of "cable-izing" the broadband delivery of content with tired pricing & bandwidth overage charges. So everytime the consumer tries to cut their cable bill, Big Media/telecoms are fighting back & trying to prevent that happening & this ruling was a win for that cause.
