Alucard188 07/23/19 9:05:59 PM #19:	Piracy goes down when you make owning and consuming media more convenient for the consumer. Start putting roadblocks and funnels in their way, and they'll just find another way to get what they want. You'd think they learn that by now. Pirating music is almost unheard of nowadays, thanks to streaming services and YouTube. There's really only 1-2 major streaming services (iTunes, Spotify), and a host of smaller ones that emulate radio bands. People were fine when it was just Netflix and Hulu. Now you have the splintering of services again, so it makes it far less convenient for the user to consume what they want.

Well right, but none of those individual corporations are worse off for that decision. Netflix and Hulu are the ones that will suffer.
