Maybe instead of spending more on lawyers, just consolidate the streaming services again so they're more attractive than piracy?
I feel like that's the opposite of what we want. Perhaps a storefront where one could choose what they want from different providers for a reasonable price would be good, but consolidation leads to *opolies, which are never good for consumers.
Wasn't Netflix basically that? One store front for films and TV shows produced by different companies. Pay a flat monthly fee and get access to the libraries from every production company.
That was pre-enshittification. We are far beyond that point now.
