That's correct. Indeed, these are two different usages: one is
"content" and the other is "contents". "Contents" is used in regard
to one specific work, and there is no problem with that usage.
"Content" is an abstraction use to generalkize and equate _all_
publications and communications, of whatever kind of medium.
The range of generalization is what makes it a problem.
