I'm not the author of GP, but I'm really feeling his vibe.
> You don't have an inalienable right to watch movies
If you include news and documentaries, I kinda do. Though not quite as righteous, I get a little indignant that some company gets to dictate how much I'll have to pay to remain informed of our shared (though purely-entertainment) culture.

The word "objectively" here is used like "literally", a in a meaningless sentence enhancer.
> you aren't entitled to dictate how you want the business of media to operate
I think I should be, it's my money I'm giving them after all, I'd like to have a vote in the content, how I access it, and even how much it's worth.
>(i.e. you get to pick how much or how little you pay)
Demand and supply: if you want to charge more than I want to see your service I guess I can unsubscribe; I wish we could barter about it. However, if I have to pay $39.99/month for who knows how long to watch one documentary, which I know was dirt cheap to make, I'm going to feel so morally justified while I pirate it that I will indeed think I'm the 'good guy'.
