I wish Plex would provide some kind of system where I could buy content directly from the publisher, download it and watch it locally. Cut out the current middlemen for a pure delivery mechanism straight from the manufacturer.

If people could buy and get a drm free digital copy...

It would cut down on a lot of piracy. But studios will never do it because they think it would increase piracy. Completely ignorant that all it takes is a single person to rip a movie and put it online. No matter how difficult it is to rip, someone will do it.

My pirating of media completely stopped when it became easy to watch stuff legally. Music is still very easy but lately I've been looking out longingly at the seas again

Russia does the same, but it relies on freedom of speech. All of that disinformation is hard to stop, but turns out it can be quite powerful even when there is plenty sources where one can easily verify facts.

Shouldn’t be too tough to explain. “We paid a lot of $ $ to bring John Stewart out of retirement, but nobody watched the first two seasons, so we didn’t make a third.”

You're covering for Apple censoring on behalf of China.

Is anyone surprised? Why even join Apple if you're expecting integrity?

Because they threw a bunch of money at him and said, "do what you want". So he made a show that was a little more medicine and a little less comedy that he knew would get lower ratings.

Have you ever seen the opening credits?

He probably had this conversation with the staff as he hired them.
