Like, once you sub a streaming service, doesn't that sort of free you from large portions of your moral obligation to compensate the creators?
This. This. This. Giving back to the creators is the only morally justified piracy.
Except if it's an Apple TV show. They're losing billions on the service, which they can afford due to their $160 billion cash reserves.
They'll keep doing this until their less well-funded competition dies, then they'll suddenly discover that they need to make a profit after all, and the enshittification will begin.
