Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

To be frank it's not Amazon's problem.

Its the content publishers problem.

And Amazon isn't enabling this, they're just making an Android device.

The users are putting software onto the device.

This article sets a dangerous precedent. That if Amazon doesn't lock the firestick down like Apple that they're enabling piracy.

Its not Googles nor Microsoft's responsibilities either. They helped, probably solely for money, but they're not obligated to continue to update their DRM.

This article should have framed how DRM repeatedly hasn't worked.

All pirates drink water. What is water doing to stop piracy?

If Big Media is losing all this money, why aren't they claiming these losses on their taxes?

Is it because they haven't lost a dime?

Lately Ars Technica seems quite intent on losing any quality they had.

What kind of boot licking, inaccurate, non-news shit is this?

The only potential reason for this article is farming engagement bait clicks from people who don't know shit about fire sticks, and from people like us stunned at the stupidity.

Yes focus on Amazon, the only known way to pirate..

Publishers under the impression that they somehow deserve "billion of dollars" more money than they already get for checks notes being a middleman.

Internet enables most, if not all the piracy.

Over twenty years since launch, the DRM solutions provided by Google and Microsoft are in steep decline. A complete overhaul of the technology architecture, licensing, and support model is needed. **Lack of engagement with content owners indicates this a low priority.**  

It's funny that even the techbros don't like them

common android win [i edited my comment. i wont tell you, user, what i wrote. trololo]

Just leaving this here : https://boingboing.net/2012/01/10/lockdown.html

This is battle they can't win and it just makes everything stupid trying.

Because the content industry is do destitute. They aren’t making billions?

At least one thing Amazon does right then!

Yeah, but asking film/tv producers for permission would kill my content collection!

following this argument this article is also enabling piracy by giving people good ideas 💡

Oh no! Anyway...
