why would eu even care about them
They won’t, it’s just they’re so used to getting their own way with the government in the US that they think that this will cause the EU to do anything.
Privacy is already illegal, technically, it’s just no one really enforces it, mostly because the law is so vague it’s hard to work out if anyone has actually broken it. They’re not going to start enforcing it just because Hollywood wants them to.
I’m gonna pirate everything I want from netflix
lol
This time it’ll work!
womp womp
Netflix didn’t have this problem when only Netflix existed. Then they started removing content from their platform and pissed everyone off so people started pirating because they wanted their content back.
Then a bunch of other streaming services started and Netflix didn’t really do anything to make their product more attractive, so those streaming providers ended up getting more content. Then Netflix cut back on their own unique content, which was their main drive in the first place (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, And yes I know it was terrible, but Discovery). So now I have to have 35 different subscriptions if I want to be 100% legit.
Or… hear me out… they just make their products suck less and affordable.
One or the other. Quality tends to cost more money. Fast food is cheaper than fine dining, but you can tell the difference in quality.
Problem is the Studios charge a lot for crap.
Fast food used to cost less than fine dining. I discovered last week that my local Italian place is now cheaper than a meal for four at McDonald’s.
Well that’s the second stage isn’t it.
Start off by being the cheap and cheerful option, then raise prices and justify it by diversifying into more high quality products, and actually do that, create better quality products so people think the price increase is actually acceptable.
Then slowly cut back on the higher quality products and go back to your basic service but don’t change the price.
You see it in food, you see it in streaming services, you see it in video games. Remember when Call Of Duty was actually good?
Preferences are debatable and some people actually like that crap you don’t. F.e. I never understood American hype on “superhero” movies. I’d sooner watch American wresting which may be more plausible than any modern superhero movie
Especially suck less.
If they sucked less, they’d have broader appeal, meaning more consumers so could potentially, maybe, not be so overpriced vs their value.
Oh, who am I kidding? Hollywood has been a bunch of arrogant asshats forever.
Studio heads with no film background make decisions based on spreadsheets. Those people shouldn’t be in the industry… yet they remain.
Remember when Netflix first started raising prices claiming it was all going to go toward new content that people would be excited for? That was years ago now and we’ve seen additional increases, along with ads, and blocking account sharing and their content still sucks for the most part.
Best we can do is charge you more. Monthly.
Next time an artist makes a big deal about being ripped off I’m going to contrast “working hard and then getting ripped off” with “underregulated industry manipulating society for profit” and probably just pirate.
Over the past two decades, online piracy has proven to be a massive challenge for the entertainment industries.
Really?
No, not really. Sales go up every year in legitimate sources. Piracy isn’t for the normies, they get to pay.
Wow, I didn’t know Hollywood was so concerned about the Red Sea maritime traffic…
