This is the movie studio/streamer endgame. Netflix validated the concept and was able to get short term licences while the traditional movie studios watched these licences run out. Netflix now must create new content and compete with the old(and dated content as well as the new stuff from studios and others. Seems logical to get rid of the free loaders. Not sure how they fight copy streamers of their content unless them embed a steganographic ID in whatever they stream and scan streams for that ID and cut that subscriber off = lots of detailed work, but it could probably be botautomated - except for private streams that can not be automated via FTP etc - that would also have a subscriber cost as well. Netflix is facing an existential threat IMHO, so they need to limit free loaders AND create new content AND defeat ripoff streamers- a true challenge. I am content to pay Netflix...
