I don't understand your objection. It doesn't look to me like Rosing said anything incorrect. Did I miss something? It doesn't look like he ever claimed that TCPA directly prevents one from running what you want to; rather, he claimed that its purpose (or effect) is to reduce his control, to the benefit of others. His claims appear to be accurate, according to the best information I've seen.
