> protecting an artist paycheck is just not as important as protecting user freedom

Not in my book but thanks for the perspective.

I feel my freedom to enjoy some music someone made on their own time has zero priority over said artist paying their bills.

If it were just about entertainment I'd agree with you. What I'm trying to protect is dissent.

I don't want to live in a world where there are no channels not controlled by a third party, and that's the world the content industry is building. Entertainment is just a stepping stone for them.
