Don't be confused. Rulings like this have nothing to do with the rights of the content creators or society. It has to do with eliminating competition for the middlemen.

You and I would say there's nothing wrong with a content creator choosing to use alternative means of distribution if they wish. However, the entrenched distribution industry would strongly disagree. Piracy is just a red herring, eliminating competition is the real goal.
