⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motion Picture Association Hires FBI Official to Lead Anti-Piracy Efforts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
They didn’t argue the product (the content on streaming platforms) was bad, they argued the only legal ways you can get the product are not acceptable.

Therefore yes, it becomes ok in my book to violate copyright (which does not equate to stealing, the owner hasn’t lost the original).

As soon as I can have a choice of service that has virtually all of the content (like you do with music, or groceries), and I can pick the storefront based on its usability and cost rather than its catalogue, piracy numbers will go right down. Because it becomes less of a hassle to get it legally rather than pirate.
