Imagine there's a local newspaper with a community events section. The event organizers say the newspaper is stealing from them because it profits from having ads on the same page, so the government makes them pay $10 to each event they feature. The newspaper decides the community events section isn't worth the trouble and just removes it, and everybody including the government whines that the big bad corporation is bullying them. If they actually believed the original argument that it was stealing, they should be happy that they stopped!
I'm sure glad the government is focusing on important issues like this while being dismissive of the housing crisis.

Simply beautifully put.
