Oh no! The poor multi-billion dollar football leagues are losing out on pennies from people who cant afford extortionate subscription services! Quick, take legal action!
Piracy is a service problem.
Yes but also it is increasingly becoming a price problem
That’s still service.
I wanted to watch World Cup, so I got Peacock for a month for $5. I considered piraxy, but the cost was less than the hassle to figure out how to do it. It was in Spanish, but that was fine by me.
I didn't keep that subscription though because the value wasn't there. But Peacock got $5 from me that they wouldn't have otherwise gotten.
I'm currently in the process of ripping my DVDs and am planning to get a Blu-ray player to rip even more, because I'm fed up with paying more and getting less from various streaming services. I hadn't bought a DVD or Blu-Ray for years until Netflix started dropping shows and raising prices.
I make a good salary, but I'm not going to throw it away on low value services. I spend a ton at Steam and have spent a lot at Netflix and Disney+ in the past, but that's changing now that prices are going up, ads are increasing, and content is shrinking.
