  I’m kind of amazed how my Gen Z buddies are so adamantly against pirating. They think the cops will bust down their door, literally.

    A few of mine got cease and desist orders from their ISP, one got two… so that’s why they’re against it. Some now do VPN, some just hop streaming services. Some just stopped watching as much stuff because: life.

  Why? You realize if everyone torrents there will be nothing to torrent, right?

    Everyone torrented in the 00’s, and Netflix was born from that.

    No way they’ll let the whole market crash before trying to get some customers back.

    Lol no. That’s not how an economy works. When you sell less of a thing you then have to adjust price to make it favorable again. Companies aren’t just going to say “If we can’t charge $350 a month we might as well just turn off this massive money machine.” No, they will charge $200 and accept making less money over making no money.

      You’re correct. Theft has nothing to do with the economy.

      No, they will charge $200 and accept making less money

      It doesn’t matter what they charge when everyone steals it for $0.

        Ummm theft, aka shrink, is very much a part of any business.

        It doesn’t matter what they charge when everyone steals it for $0.

        You missed the part where people stop stealing of the price is reasonable. It’s the reason why pirating went way down when Netflix first came out. People are willing to pay, not be taken advantage of.
