Yes.
It's also about a monopoly in the distribution and pricing of content, forcing the use of certain technologies and in many cases equipment upgrades rather than the market deciding such, eliminating fair use by imposing legal barriers on it's removal and as a barrier to free trade (for example, regional restrictions).
Your definition is patently inadequate on those grounds.
