'IP House' Takes Global IP & Anti-Piracy Protection to a New Level * TorrentFreak (torrentfreak.com)

Anti-piracy outfits come in all shapes and sizes but the new venture 'IP House' aims to stand tall and above all. Headed by a former ACE/MPA boss, with a veteran U.S. federal law enforcement chief at his side, the private-equity-backed company positions itself as the 'haute couture' of global intellectual property enforcement. >

You may think they would want to use all that money to make people not need to pirate things. but here we are.

There are two ways to reduce piracy. Either make it easier to access content legally or make it harder to pirate. The former is significantly more effective than the latter. Taking down pirate streaming sites is a game of whack-a-mole and peer to peer won't go anywhere.

That’s exactly it! The sad thing is that it’s more convenient to pirate than get 5+ subscriptions and an extra app on your phone to stay ahead of disappearing content.

Mixnets for the win!

Good luck finding the pirates there.

its almost like some companies need piracy too exist so that they can keep leeching money of these idiots that keep giving them money to stop a problem that they themselfs create.
