Perhaps Neflix, HBO and Cable Giants don't realise that in 2019 the internet is super fast, storage is super cheap and piracy is easier than ever.

If they want to take an inch, I'm prepared to revert to hosting a media server for all of my friends and family with all sorts of wonderful cat videos.

Yeah, i'm a somewhat reformed pirate, and the only reason i've switched from piracy to netflix and prime is because netflix is easier. If it stops being easier, i'll be back to piracy pretty quickly

I was subscribed to Netflix for years until recently. I’ve given up. It’s the high seas for me. And anybody who argues I just want stuff for free is twisting the narrative. I was and still am more than happy to reward content creators as long as they make some effort towards ensuring my convenience. All I see now is maximum rent-seeking, so I’m out.
