Media companies could act in their own self interest and also not be gross. Instead of taking things away (i.e. removing stuff that used to be available) they could offer extra benefits to subscribers who stayed long term. Is it hard to think of these benefits without screwing us over? Maybe, but I don't care, they should move their asses or get the hell out of this business. I've zero sympathy for their "plight". Because you know, us consumers always have the option of piracy: free, high quality, available whenever we want, and it's never going away. So media companies better shape up and offer us the better product.
