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.
the Dutch East India Company were the bad guys. Just saying.
...ok?
TF does that have to do with modern media piracy?
If the monopoly is the bad guys… the pirates are the good guys, right?
Ah, I see.
If purchasing isn't owning, then pirating can't be stealing.
