If everyone learned to “use the internet” and stopped paying then there would be nothing to pay for because nobody works for free.
If everyone learned to use the internet then those companies would have to adapt in order to survive.
How would they adapt to offer stuff for cheaper than free?
Because piracy isn’t a pricing issue, it’s a service issue. If people can get a better service for free, then that’s what they’re going to do. It’s the same reason people go to McDonalds, everyone can make a mid burger at home, but McDs has already done it and will sell it at a price some people will find reasonable. If I could go to Netflix, pay them whatever it costs right now and actually watch the content at a resolution I actually paid for and download to keep myself a copy for later (because again, I bought it) then I’d pay for Netflix. Seeing as that’s not the case and likely won’t be because people keep paying for Netflix, we’re stuck with the status quo.
When you’re talking about downloading for later are you talking about while your Netflix subscription is active, or for after you terminate your subscription?
After as well, no DRM on downloads. Pure .mp4
So on the first day of your Netflix subscription you’d download 1000 movies then cancel your subscription…
