Who do you mean when you say 'content providers'?? I can get out my clarinet and make music. You can sit down at a piano and play a tune. Obviously, music reproduction technology is different from 'providing content.' If you begin to rely on someone else to make your music for you, and simply want to lie back on that couch and enjoy it, you deserve to have your 'music' taken away at the whim of the people who actually made the music. It's really that simple. Go play your guitar, and stop passively listening.
