I hope I don’t sound rude, but you are incorrect. Piracy is not the reason streaming and movies suck. In fact, low cost streaming resulted in a decrease in piracy.
Piracy increases when access to media is severely and unjustly restricted. Piracy is a form of protest.
Piracy is a form of protest and a very powerful one at that, but let’s we that argument aside for the moment.
Over the last seven years, Hollywood studios have decreased movie production. And yet their revenue and profit margins have actually increased!
They do this by underpaying writers, usurping copyrighted materials from other countries and using AI.
