You can't make a business out of everything. By the same reasoning you could argue for banning breathing because it prevents a potential canned-air market.

Because it costs money to provide services? You could not argue that with the same reasoning, because there is no labor involved for air to exist. However services need to be run by people using hardware created by other people, all of whom need to eat, which is only possible with money.

Why? This service could just as well be provided by the national weather service directly.

Why do we need a dozen companies rehashing and reselling the same public dataset?

I dunno. Make a patreon or something. Do it for love. Don't do it at all.

If you send me ads, I'll delete them. If you send me DRM'd data, I'll get rid of it. These are not acceptable business models.

So why not "Don't do it at all" for accessing the content if you do not want to pay for it? You feel entitled to receive it on your terms, but other people are not allowed to only offer something on their terms?

Sure I do, because I can and I make sure to exercise that power and freedom as much as possible. They're the ones who try to control us, using their copyrights and monopolies and lobbying to restrict our freedom and rob us of our rights. I refuse to accept that.

I don't even object to paying. I spend truly ridiculous amounts of money on stuff like this, despite my belief that copyright should be abolished and my knowledge of the fact I'm getting a worse product compared to the pirate, because at the end of the day I do believe in paying money for the things I like. You just need to have the basic decency to name your price. If you try to steal my attention and auction it off to the highest bidder as if it was your property, I will unconditionally block you with extreme prejudice.
