This kind of diktat is actually pretty comical. Social consensus is pretty clear on how little people care about this, but for cable companies isn't not only a profit impact but a deep moral wrong. Might they not have more success by understanding exactly this disconnect in mentalities over streaming services, rather than trying to pump petulant propaganda?
- pessimizer 9y ago> Might they not have more success by understanding exactly this disconnect in mentalities over streaming services There's no disconnect, because they don't actually believe this. It's just the line they're using, and the line that their lobbyists and lawyers will use. Until there's a robust technical solution (maybe facial registration?), they need to try social and legal ways to maintain and boost their margins.
