    Now I know this isn’t exactly Netflix’s fault, but they were doing great competing against piracy until every one decided they didn’t want to share revenue with Netflix and broke off into a dozen crappy imitations. Now no single streaming service is really worth the money they want.

      This is it yeah they say that piracy isn’t a money problem it’s a service problem, one company charging 10 to $15 a month isn’t horrible when everything’s there but when there’s seven different companies all charging 10 to 15 dollars a month for a significantly smaller portion, yea people are just gonna take the path of least resistance.

      They are still the problem either way. Even back when it was just Netflix I cancelled my subscription because they incriminate their own paying customers with intrusive DRM. I was tired of only being able to watch 720p just because I was running Linux. All for a copy protection with 0% success rate since it gets ripped anyway.
