Piracy is a service issue, plain and simple. It would be all but dead if media companies gave their customers what they actually wanted, but line must go up at the expense of literally everything else.
Exactly! Distributor should not be able to lock you in with exclusive content, this kills the free market of distribution of media
Like now we have competitors fighting against each other for having the best library, but they don’t compete against each other in the case of technology of distribution
For example A disney plus exclusive has a monopol distribution way, there is no competition about how to serve the content. Meaning, there is no incentive to improve distribution. Simple capitalism. Capitalism “works” only in favour of the consumer, as long as the government ensures free market everywhere by regulating too big players who are destroying the whole concept.
If a newcomer can’t enter a market anymore, the market is not free.
