Gee, we've tried taking content away, raising prices, injecting adverts and forcing them to use our crappy clients.
Why are people turning to piracy?
Advertising and lobbying are the only thing these people know how to do.
Not to mention removing features, like Netflix removing the ability to download media.
If only there was a way for media to exist as a file.
Alas, it's just not possible.
