Hilarious that these subscription companies learned nothing from the cable industry that they’re disrupting
I swear I've seen every single company from Netflix to Disney to Spotify to Youtube to Apple doing the same sort of thing in like the past 3 months. This is GROSS.
I can’t wait for their suprised pikachu faces when they put so much friction into using their products that piracy starts eating into their profits. Us nerds are already fed up, and when that happens piracy alternatives grow. That makes it that much easier for the general public to also sail the high seas. I give it 3 years or so before they’re all shocked and crying to congress about the problem they created
Nah they'll put out a bunch of news articles talking about how much money pirates are costing them. If they get enough public support or line the right pockets we might also see Congress crack down on this 'scourge' that's probably totally linked to terrorism somehow and "must be dealt with swiftly."
Sopa/pipa was the one and only time the American people beat the corporations+Congress. Don't mess with our circuses is the one thing everyone agrees on.
They absolutely will try though.
