...yes?
The friction of government control is partly what allows things like Netflix, Hulu, et al to survive. If there were no copyright, then you'd seen tools that were just as good thrive on various p2p backbones.
Instead, the pressure from law enforcement on developers, big libraries of content, indexers, etc keeps the experience of for pay sites better for most people, and so most people just pay whatever streaming website.
Sometimes law enforcement isn't about winning ever battle so much as tilting economic scales.
- koonsolo 9y agoI understand that governements need to make these things illegal. But my point was that even though it's illegal, they can't stop it. One of the game of thrones episodes was on torrent before it even aired. A governement can make bitcoin illegal. But stop it? No way.
