Agreed, but what should we do when the "public venue" is owned and controlled by a private entity?

The more we privatize, the more we allow to converge in the private hands of the wealthy few, the less recourse the "public" has.

I'm not a lawyer, but there is a legal concept of businesses that are "open to the public" even if they are a privately owned.
