That's not to say you need to stop watching your favorite shows! Hit up /c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and save some money during lean times.
They only respond to pressure form the state or from the market. The state just pressured them to do it, so if the market doesn't pressure them otherwise, that's it. What are chances the too big to fail corporation can be pressured from the market?
