Remember when piracy was shrinking and Netflix was cheap and had a good deal of content?

Ah well, if only we can figure out what changed.

I guess we'll instead try prohibiting VPNs, when something is in demand.. prohibiting it always works great with zero unintended consequences.

    Other P2P networks too.

    Long live to Soulseek, eMule/ed2k, IPFS, Iroh, Retroshare, Tox and the like.

    When you only needed Netflix. Not Netflix, Hulu, Disney, HBO, Paramount, peacock, starz, apple, Amazon prime... I mean, I think most of us are fine paying for content. But, streaming has become at least as expensive as cable used to be.
