Streaming services are becoming less attractive because of rising prices and companies removing content, which is sending people back to piracy. So now the industry is trying to pass laws to penalize digital piracy again.
The Motion Picture Association said it will work with Congress to enact an anti-piracy law similar to legislation that failed to pass more than a decade ago for potentially promoting censorship.
Seriously, what did they expect when they started removing content and raising prices?
did they learn nothing from the last time? 😂
Are there people whose jobs it is to ruin things that are working just fine?
The main lesson of the late 2000s and early 2010s - piracy dies off if you put a good product, adequately priced and easily accessible seems forgotten because they're going after a new one: make politicians comply with your asinine practices that are drawn with "the people have no choice" in mind.
As beloved dev Thor/PirateSoftware said, piracy is mainly a price and access problem. People are generally willing to pay for things they think is worth it
