No, you aren't paying attention.  Tom was whining about content owners

Give it up John. You continue to make a fool of yourself.

The issue is not who owns the content. The issue is who owns the broadcast and cable networks that bid for the rights.

Last time I checked, five companies owned 90% of all broadcast and cable networks. The media conglomerates decide which division submits the highest bid for rights.
