Regarding 2 - I think we need to regard these things with a holistic eye on centralization in general, rather than narrowly focusing on government / not government. True, government didn't order the change - however, government does forbid acquiring a copy from anyone except this single entity, through copyright law. The practical effect is the same - a small and unelected entity gets to unilaterally fiddle with shared culture, and I can't legally obtain or distribute an unmolested copy. That's censorship.

Really, the core issue is copyright law again. There comes a point where something is so enmeshed in our culture that it can't be said to be "owned" by anyone anymore.
