But a lot of them will. They will pay for ease of access, legal access, and a good user experience.
If the industry had focused its energy on those willing to pay instead of those not willing to pay, maybe the UX Popcorn Time provides today would have been available as a legal subscription based service.
Just look at Spotify. Yes, a lot of people still don't pay for the music they consume, but a lot of people do. Pirating of music has certainly seen a decline, even if we may never get rid of it completely.
- malka 11y agoDue to DRM, I usually have a better user experience with the pirated version. That goes for videos, games, and music. What the fuck.
- rhino369 11y agoWho puts drm on music anymore? Certainly not iTunes. That argument is nearing a decade past expiration.
- k-mcgrady 11y ago>> Just look at Spotify. They lost over €150m last year and their losses have been growing. Content creators seem to dislike them and want an alternative. Just because you can do something and some people will pay doesn't mean it makes business sense.
