Technically, yes.
However, citizens in the us do have the right of free speech, and some would say that 'copyright restrictions' violate that right in the first place, so its not really a fair comparison.
Can we please kill cable and it's dumb "channels" yet? Can we do away with traditional radio stations and their paid-for playlists?
Simple answer : NO.
Longer answer: Not everyone wants to burn mobile data time just to listen to local radio stations while they are out and about. Besides mobile data issues, soon home bandwidth caps will shrink down to ludicrous levels, unless you are consuming the ( extra charge ) content from your provider.

It all trickles down to the 'guy on the street in the end, and we are the ones that pay..
There are ads (buy now) everywhere in the modern world (buy now).
From billboards, to clothes, the drink you are holding, to the car that just passed you on the road, its invaded every part of our lives. Everyone is competing for your attention 24/7. Its not going away.

Who gives you the right to impress your concepts of right and wrong onto the citizens of another sovereign nation and its people?

Antarctica is a decent temp year round. Sign me up please.
It *did* cost him. He just thinks public services run on air, not taxes..
Not saying i support it, but if you take the millions for the library, you can buy a lot of kindles and pay for the subscription too....
Try getting out of print material from amazon...
i know *I* would never run an out-node.. i dont want the feds coming to my door due to what someone else was accessing.
The OP asks a rather simple technological restriction, and instead we get a bunch of mis-informed arm chair legal posts, mostly from idiots.
my my, amazing how far Slashdot has fallen.
