I'm not a lawyer either, but I can at least translate what David's saying;

HAVE EVERYTHING FOR NOTHING FOR EVER AND EVER, AND I'LL CRY IF I CAN'T!!"
That's pretty much the gist of it.
It's really not.
There is a truly massive stretch of clear blue water between
'information should be free - it can't be ownes, therefore I don't need

And 'Content providers should not be able to dictate - sometimes in
violation of local laws on fair use - the way in which that content is
legitimately used by paying users'.
