Netflix saw this coming years ago, which is why they tried so hard to create their own quality content, but it's just not enough, and usually not good enough to stay subscribed.

Which is why you have to lick the boots of the studios as a streaming service. There's not much more you can do if you want the whole catalogue. But mb that's sth that's just not profitable at this point. Because their cut would endanger your economic sustainability.

But fucking over streaming services is also not a long-term successful strategy for studios if they want to battle piracy.

So either they find enough common ground or illegal streaming etc will grow.
