They tried to kill piracy so many times, and it never worked.
They will try again and fail again. And the best of it is that sales won't go up anyway because the problem is not piracy, is their own greed.
If they somehow manage to completely kill piracy, I won't be able to pay for every streaming service anyway because I don't have the time to enjoy them all nor I think they are worth my money at all.
Even if the internet dies.
Sneaker net was here before . And will be here afterwards..

We'll just start doing what we did before the internet: go to each other homes and copy from their source.
I agree - if they stop piracy, i will start selling copies of my stash for the cost of the Hdds to clone to and the time it took me to copy the files, under the pretense that they do the same for others. free delivery!
hmmm somewhat of an offline torrent lol
I already have more media than I could watch in a lifetime on a home server, if we lose new media I can happily enjoy the old stuff for decades to come
Someone will figure out a way to allow micro-transactions where you pay a small fee to piggyback on existing subscriptions, so you don't have to pay for everything, you can just drop three bucks to use part of an account that a subscriber isn't using
