Many television networks are giving their shows away for free a day after they air. Music labels are giving videos away for free and have played songs on the radio for decades at no charge. All they ask is that they can control where and when their products are given away and that's exactly what Monty Python did.

A big fail for the writer of that article who missed the point entirely.
