Nevermind fixing your business model when you can just buy politicians to make trying to work outside of your business model illegal.
Stay classy, Copyright Mafia.

But you don't understand, if people stop pirating, the subscription prices will go down because of all the parasites who get it for free. The corporations would never just take the additional money and raise prices to get even more, right?
In fact, prices will go even HIGHER, because now you have no choice. Either pay $120 for cable or pay for streaming. Or read a book. Or go outside.
With no piracy, they can charge whatever they want. $50 a month Netflix incoming!
go outside
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Don't forget the /s, Poe's Law and all that jazz, ya know
I hope it was clear enough
I pay a fee, I don’t want ads – just content. That’s my beef with cable and the enshitification of streaming. While I’m at it, the bitrate of both is unacceptable.
This is no longer about cost, but quality they won’t provide which is the basis of the platitude “the customer is always right”.
The customer is only right if they threaten to cancel their service
Even then, if the cost of improving service is more than one customer's cancellation, the customer can kick rocks
Advertisers can pay more to stay in the room than you will realistically pay to have them expelled.
I don't think so, I'm using a VPN server in Russia LMAO!!
