Ironically, it was Netflix and Steam that proved if you make things accessible the amount of people pirating content diminishes. People DO want to pay fair prices to legally obtain or consume content.
- croutonwagon 5y agowould agree. And why it never made sense at their semi-annual efforts or bluster to crack down on cred sharing. The people piggybacking creds arent going to be buying their own account. Take the MLB as an example. 1. They blackout your home team. 2. They also crack down hard on credential sharing 3. They also crack down hard on using a proxy/VPN to try and bypass blackouts. The blackouts are outrageous in the own rights. The teams i want to follow are 4.5 and 11 hours away by car and are blacked out.....EVEN if i buy the team specific package for that team, games are blacked out.... So I just dont give them money anymore.
- parineum 5y agoThe blackouts aren't based on geography, they're based on media markets. A game is blacked out if it can be watched on cable, basically.
- kazoomonger 5y ago100% this. I have spent a lot of money on bandcamp. I really wish there was an equivalent of bandcamp for movies and shows.
