"No one is going to want to pay hundreds of dollars a month just to get different brands of content." Hundreds of dollars? No. But $10/mo here and there? Sure, yes, of course. The only people for whom that's not true are people who value money more than their time (i.e. young people, college kids, etc) and those people have always preferred piracy. I'm in my mid-30s, with a career, and other interests. The value of piracy would have to swing wildly in the other direction before I'd be even a little bit interested (and this equation is only going to become less balanced as I start a family). I'd rather just pay.
