I understand the sentiment, but Netflix having a monopoly on streaming content wasn’t a good situation, either.

The ideal solution is multiple competing services with the same content.

I’d recommend considering how the recently expired https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. would have applied to streaming services.

Yeah, the moment Netflix announced House of Cards, the US government should’ve hit them with this. Could’ve prevented this streaming mess.

Does Walmart have a monopoly on kinder chocolate? The idea is to have several distributors each with as complete a catalog as possible. Having such a shattered offers between platforms makes it very noncompetitive against any piracy solution.

There is a difference between 1, 4 and 30 streaming services…

The usurper delivered us from the evil that was cable or nothing.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the enemy. The cycle must repeat
