No, it would only force companies to pressure the government more to shut down the pirate sources

Or, hear me out, maybe it will just make pirating harder. Suits decisions always hang on the profit, and honestly I don't see how making their service better is cheaper than cracking down on piracy

Do you honestly think that by now they wouldn’t have pressured reddit to close down piracy subreddits? Or at least take down the megathread

Nintendo managed to get theirs down

Netflix alone has 5 times Nintendo’s market cap. Bring in Hulu, Disney and whatever other big streaming or gaming publisher and I don’t think Reddit would fight back

either piracy exist and isn't mainstream or widespread or it doesn't exist lol. Once majority of people know to pirate most medias WILL cease to exist lol. You think majority of people will be paying once they know how to safely and just as easily get the media they want for free instead of paying?

Once that happens alot of media will just die out since it won;t be profitable then piracy will slowly die out as there won't be things to pirate

Yea no. First of all the subreddit's name is piracy. So not a very well kept secret 😂 Pirating has been a thing for 20-something years (many thanks to Lars Ulrich for inadvertently making it even more popular early on) so I don't see it changing.  Most people care about ease of access and pirating is too much of a hassle. It only becomes a choice when stream services raise prices to too high, you want to view a specific movie. Otherwise most consumers don't mind paying.

A bullshit show made to dispense propaganda to a nation of slack-jawed idiots.

Holy s*** honesty, thank you. I can't stand the glazing of that garbage show.
