The solution to piracy isn’t further escalation of the cat and mouse game.
The music industry already showed the answer; stop trying to hold on so tight with a winner-take-all model. Let platforms have access to content and create services at a reasonable price. All the services trying to carve out at own their own piece of the streaming market is what frustrates users and drives them to the pirate sites. A paying customer should have a better and more seamless solution than a pirate. This is the case with many music service, is not the case with TV and movies. It’s too confusing, too expensive, and constantly shifting. The user experience is a complete nightmare. Until the industry solves the user’s plight, they deserve to lose.

- brokenmachine 2y agoThey can't emulate the music industry by simply exploiting the performers because, unlike musicians, the film studios have lawyers too.
