You got greedy and fucked up. At first there was netflix. And it was fine because they had mostly everything.
Then someone decided to make their service and it was still fine because it was cheap and I could afford it in exchange of the good content.
Fast forward a few years and now there is one service for each show and people say: you know what? I’m not paying more than 100 to see all those streamings, I’ll stick with netflix that works and has enough for me.
Netflix without competition wouldn’t have been the best option either. They were cheap and spent on many shows to grow, but enshitification would have arrived anyway.
Few years ago, a show made by Netflix was almost a seal of quality. Now it means nothing.
People gotta treat shows more they they do big budget video games. It’s expensive to buy all of them. Maybe you don’t need to buy all of them.
And piracy isn’t an answer to this question. Because then you are saying you have the right to all of them. Do you have a similar right to every video game? Every movie? Every song? Every written word?
This is just a personal opinion that I’m posting as a tangent to your comment about someone feeling burdened by the fact TV shows and movies are made by multiple different organizations. And they all choose their own paths to distribution.
Should we have laws that make studios distribute their content across multiple platforms? That at least is something that does not involve piracy. I’m not sure what precedent there is for that sort of thing. It sounds like people want competition between platforms. Not between studios. They want studios to distribute among platforms. And those platforms to compete on price. This actually sounds like how digital Gaming stores have played out. But they are not subscriptions. So the comparison breaks down there.

All media should enter the public domain after 10 years, so yeah, I do.
15 years, with a single optional extension that must be applied for in the 14th year. If you can’t manage to sell it in 30 years of marketing, you aren’t gonna sell it.
This is a bullshit number that you’ve pulled from thin air. Corporations would obviously go for the full 30 years, and by the time it’s getting close to 30 years, they’ll have figured out another loophole to withhold their content from the general population.
Corporations only exist to pull a profit. They do not care about consumers, only their profit margins, shareholders and quarterly turnaround. Dumb comment all round.

Yes, I have pirated games, movies, songs, books, articles, software, and technically even hardware (.stls of patented things exist). And I will continue.

Or just pirate everything. The resurgence in piracy has been astronomical because of the streaming wars. I’m loving that aspect.

To be fair, there’s also way more content being made now per year since Netflix became the (1) service and more-or-less only service.
A 100$?! Might as well go back to cable.

It’s not pulled from thin air. That’s how copywrite laws were originally written, and I don’t see an issue with those stipulations.
Corporations needing to be outlawed is an entirely different issue.
