You point to the general underpinning of the issue; everything in the
world, unfortunately, costs something to gain access to, other than air
(for now).
It has never been the interpretation of CC, to my knowledge, that a
paywall (or other login mechanism) was a TPM.
Keep in mind the reason for the TPM clause is to address the DRM issue,
which prevents people *who already have the file/work* from using it in
ways that the license allows. It isn't about people gaining access to
the file/work in the first place.
Best,
Greg
