We are still "customers". They sell in-show product placement that we see also. Don't let any of their BS fool you, they are still making a pretty penny off us. MUSO puts out a pdf every year with the standard "piracy bad" stuff but makes sure to pitch the idea that torrent data is valuable in a number of ways. They seem to be the only anti-piracy outfit that "gets it".

Sure, but that is as a customer of the content generators, not the streaming services.
