It's probably contractual obligations from shitty media companies.

quite probably. Ironically it does nothing helpful because pirates are gonna pirate.

If anything, it's does the opposite by driving would-be legitimate buyers (well... Subscribers) into piracy.

You won't provide it to me even if I pay you, because you don't like the system I use? Fine, I'll keep my money and pirate it instead.

If the monopoly is the bad guys… the pirates are the good guys, right?
