Once again big media companies are just making up new rights for themselves. The idea that the properly licensed spoken word version of a published work does not intrinsically include the text is laughable. What's next? Kindle books are infringing on copyright because they reformat the text of the book into a version that fits the user's screen size and preferred font? I mean why not?
And I suppose YouTube is infringing on copyrighted videos when it adds machine-translated CCs, right?
Modern copyright is indistinguishable from rent-seeking.
