The degenerates in this case are the copyright holders. They ruin it for everyone as usual with their shortsighted greed.

- rayiner 7y agoYeah! What terrible people! Not offering content that they created, or paid to have created, for less than what people are willing to pay for it! If there is anything that is entitled to be sold in a profit-maximizing manner it’s copyrighted content. We’re not talking about a public good, or monopolizing a pre-existing thing. If Marvel (or some other company) didn’t make Avengers, it wouldn’t exist in the universe. Nor are we talking about something essential, like food, or housing, or medicine. If you don’t watch Avengers, you’re fine. Any rationalization for consuming the benefit without paying the desired price is entitled nonsense.
- rorykoehler 7y agoThat's not the reality of this situation. They are fragmenting the market on purpose in order to "build a moat". You can't complain about piracy anymore. We can see what happens when there is a paid alternative. People stop pirating and use it. If you don't offer a paid alternative to piracy because you want to squeeze extra profit from fragmentation then tough luck when people start pirating. Honestly I think content should be a highly regulated market with a set price and open marketplace. What we have today is cable 2.0 and cable died because it doesn't work.
