@Stahesh same. we have a tax on memory mediums like hard rives, sd cards, even CDs, because they have the potential to store copyrighted content. so i have no moral issue with piracy whatsoever. but also, my time is not free, why should i pay for something i dislike and have no way of returning it and getting my time and money back? last time i pad for content was when john wick 4 was in cinemas. i pirated it but i also purchase a ticket to support it, though i never went to see it in person.
@Stahesh yes, the lack of ease of access to legal content is one of the main arguments for piracy and has been since for ever. even now with streaming services, they are just becoming the new cable where you have to have multiple ones to get all the content instead of paying one fee for cable and getting 100 channels with all their content. it's ridiculous. i just read apple is losing over a billion a year on their streaming. netflix got into green just 2 years ago. disney, paramout...all losses
@Justicar @Stahesh They forgot step 1 before worrying about piracy: produce something that might interest viewers.
