According to London‑based piracy monitoring and content‑protection firm MUSO, unlicensed streaming is the predominant source of TV and film piracy, accounting for 96% in 2023. Piracy reached a low in 2020, with 130bn website visits. But by 2024 that number had risen to 216bn. In Sweden, 25% of people surveyed reported pirating in 2024, a trend mostly driven by those aged 15 to 24. Piracy is back, just sailing under a different flag.

    It’s ok, this is how capitalism works. When there’s less demand then they’ll have to drop prices. If your product isn’t competitive enough then you’ll have to find efficiencies and innovate. Those who can’t improve deserve to die… As capitalism deems fit.

    What’s that you say? Blame the customers instead? Keep raising prices and decreasing content? removed please.

    Edit: swearing is censored here? WTF

      No, it’s just people being dumb and forgetting this is not typical social media. Like, i can say fuck here as i just said; no need to censor. As long as you respect the community and instance rules, go wild! Say whatever the fuck you want.
