There are lots of streaming platforms, but no real competition. Because the studios and networks hide behind the streaming services and price gouge like crazy. They know people will blame the streaming service.

Think that is just a Google thing. I took, got sick of it and use Duckduckgo instead.
But you're not thinking of the CEO's next yacht! Or the shareholders!
Those are the costs of doing business, and can be greatly exaggerated. And other counties produce profitable drugs even with price restrictions. We're so accustomed to price gouging, that we don't recognize it.
When I was a broke teenager I pirated games. But back then there wasn't any online play (80s).
Now I primarily pirate movies and TV shows. And most of that is ripping DVDs and Blu-ray discs, which I still buy when I really like something. Then supplement with torrents.
But I've never debated the ethics. Was it Thoreau that said something that the effect of, if you engage in civil disobedience, even against unjust laws, you must be ready to accept the consequences.
For the NHL and MLB you're just fucked. Those leagues completely failed negotiations. Maybe Amazon picking up a big chunk of Bally's will get us our teams on Prime. Maybe.
In general, all the major sports leagues (except maybe Premier League) are firmly stuck in the past and view cable as great. Maybe we'll see some better options when each league re-negotiates the TV deals. But even when that happens, expect the NHL to fuck it up somehow.
That was it, thanks!
The question was already answered, so I thought I'd be funny.
When I looked, I needed a code form a current member to join. So I'm out of luck, and the website said if you can't get the code, then just get it from the usual sites.
Attacking piracy AND competition in one fell swoop! Capitalism!
