What? This isn't about hiding the code and making it unavailable. It's saying that they don't need to pay for some very profitable corporation to use obscene amounts of their bandwidth.
Basically it's you get so many downloads before your throttled and deprioritized. Don't download the same thing hundreds of times over and over everyday.
