    Could they, instead, band together to offer a service that’s more user friendly than piracy? I suppose bribery is cheaper and easier.

      They did, it was called Netflix.

      Then the Netflix rates went up while everyone pulled and splintered content onto their own services and then started shuffling it around.

      It would be such a wonderful thing wouldn’t it? Now where was I again about profits and squeezing the customers?

      Imagine not being able to force set the resolution and bitrate on your stream, even tho you pay for 4k. (Btw. Same goes for YT) Plex and jellyfin are just superior.

          What client do you use? I mostly use the iOS client and there they only give you the illusion of a choice: „higher quality“ and „lower quality“ maybe there are still clients which allow force set resolution/bitrate.

        Don’t put words in my mouth. Industries get together and set standards and form partnerships all the fucking time. It’s as much a “monopoly” as this lobbying project is.
