They came so close to stamping out piracy … so very very close.
All they had to do was make streaming more convenient than piracy and people would stream instead.
And they did that for several years with netflix , piracy rates plummeted as people could just pay a monthly fee and stream all the latest movies quickly and conveniently to the device of their choice.
BUT The movie companies got greedy and decided they wanted a slice of that delicious streaming pie filled with tasty tasty revenue , so they pulled their content from netflix and made their own streaming services , and pretty soon if people wanted to stream all of their favorite shows and movies they would need half a dozen or more subscriptions , which was simply unaffordable to most people . So they had to make a choice , they would have to choose which streaming services they wanted to keep and then either do without the content from other services OR go back to torrenting what they wanted and once had included in an all in one subscription… and people are not that good at doing without if it is convenient to not do without.
