I have to assume this is some snarky way of saying "violating copyright is Bad, m'kay".

Because taken at face value it's false. Any technical challenges involved in distributing a stream cannot possibly be affected by the legal status of the bits being pushed across the network.

It means that someone who spends 100% of their money on distribution is going to have an easier time than someone who pays for content and distribution.
