I don't like that they are doing this. I'm against it but I think we should try to look at from their point of view so that we can understand where they are coming from and how we might put a stop to this before none of us can afford to upload our shows anymore.
Imagine if you ran a Grocery Store and inside your grocery store you had a coffee shop that was owned by an Independent Coffee Chain. Then one day the Government said "Hey you have a Coffee Shop in your grocery store. You need to let other coffee companies sell coffee in your store for free." So you let Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf as well as Pete's Coffee and Tully's sell coffee in your store and they didn't pay you any money but they did create more traffic in your parking lot and they made it hard for your costumers to get into your grocery store. Maybe you might try and keep your parking lot free to only your customers, unless the government told you that you needed to let anyone park in your parking lot. In a free and open society should a grocery store be forced to allow other companies to sell products in their store without paying something?
