This is just going to push more people to piracy.

It’s funny how these things go.

Long ago, you would need to buy or rent your movies, because other options weren’t really very convenient or effective. Then the internet became fast enough for you to use DC++ and later torrents to get all the movies you would ever want to see. Next, streaming services became popular due to convenience, ease of use and affordable prices.

What’s going on today? Streaming services are increasing prices and reducing convenience. Seems like the balance of power is tipping again.

And meanwhile extremely convenient piracy options have cropped up, like, just as convenient as real services, if not more because all the content is in one place.

Hell many people even use paid piracy services.

Not me though, I’ll suck my dad before I pay for piracy.
