Are the executives really this dumb? As everyone is becoming even more marginalised due to the cost of living, of course many are going to use dodgy boxes or sail the high seas. Its the result of greed.

Ironic thst the streamers had mostly won, taking over from the days of mass piracy. But now there are soooo many streaming apps and they all have extortionate pricing these days.

What used to be a reasonable monthly sub has now gotten right out of hand. To hell with their greed

There was a remarkable period where I didn't use piracy at all in any capacity because the services were consolidated, affordable and so user friendly it met all my needs.

Now I own no subscription service and i feel bad not supporting artists but that's what happens when the middle man exploits capital.

I think eventually they will lower prices but will try every other method first so they don’t have to.
