New megalist just dropped
Megathread for all your needs :)
The solution would be to provide a better service, but that would cut into their revenue.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - blame Dodge (yes, that Dodge) for setting precedent that shareholder satisfaction legally comes before customer satisfaction.
“People in my country are trying to overthrow me because I suck at running the country so instead of doing it better I should just massacre them”
It would reduce their short term revenue, but would improve their long-term revenue. Netflix used to have a great product, but they fiddled with it to make people watch only certain content that brings them more revenue. Same with Spotify. This then reduces the number of people willing to pay for the service and since there are few competitors that are better and/or have as much content they “piracy” is the only way to get the content you want for a reasonable price, with a good user experience.
So short term these things improve revenue, but not as much as the revenue lost in the long term as people start to dislike the the poor experience or are unable to afford the higher prices. And people don’t want multiple services to have to check for new content all the time all with different poor Ux.
And the board only cares about the next quarterly shareholder report.
They announce about record-shattering quarters, then lay off as many people as possible, they absorb the majority of said profits, scramble to get some more people, rinse and repeat.
Hail Hydra!
What’s the threat exactly? Are we still pretending that the study commissioned by the EU, that stated piracy isn’t impacting the revenue of any copyright holder, doesn’t exist?
Impossible! Then why the revenue is dropping!?! Surely our political mess…i mean highly sophisticated artistic stuff is in demand everywhere!
The MPA can try all they want, they’ll never defeat piracy.
They can’t even shut down the Pirate Bay, even when it is not at its most useful.
They’ve been trying for decades. It’s not going anywhere
Not until they lobby to have governments mandate all VPN services that want to do business in that country

How is this a problem for piracy?
It is a problem for the profit seek enterprise and the media is shilling their side.
I wish the media had as much concern about my income being suppressed the profit seek enterprise. But it never really happens besides odd lip service.
Maybe you should buy a few media outlets rather than begging and moching,peasant,
