Media companies, "We are losing money because people don't want to pay."
Or just maybe, your product sucks and people are finding alternatives to avoid dealing with you.
Currently pirating or streaming from a secondary site is faster, better quality, and easier to use. It's really not that hard to figure out.
Yup. You can pay Netflix for 4K, but you can only get 4K with Edge on Windows and even then only if you have the right hardware. Like, what's the point? On Linux you can only get 1080p by spoofing your just agent. Otherwise they only give you 720p.
