I think it is important to remember that most content providers would like to shut down every public library in America. Most tv content providers think that it is unfair for more than 1 person to watch a premium show at a time for a single fee. In my opinion such attitudes showcase an extreme form of capitalism and greed at the expense of the public good. If all exposure to works of art and culture are available on a "pay per view" basis only, the end result will be a "balkanized" Nation, far worse than the ethnic strongholds that we have today. They used to call America "the melting pot" - I believe that the "Pay per view" mentality works against that philosophy.
