SURRENDER, Netflix!
Netflix already defeated piracy by producing endless mid “content” like The Grey Man that you can’t even be bothered to watch for free.
Petition to stop calling things that are 'trash' 'mid'. 'Mid' means middle. I would not be upset by watching something that's mid but I wouldn't be happy about it either. I take it that if you can't be bothered to watch it even for free, it's probably just 'trash'
Man if it's made well and some people like it, that's a mid.

Solution: create a common platform for all online services (Netflix, Paramount, Disney, Warner, ...) and have EVERYTHING there, even old movies and not often seen ones.
Can we have a la carte payments back? I don't pirate movies/tv because I barely watch any movies/tv, but the only time in the past year I paid for one was when I could rent it for 48h for $4. I hate subscriptions and would rather just pay once per every time I watch.
like socialism.
I've got a platform like that!
I'm always surprised when people propose monopolies as if a) they're good, and b) that's not what everyone in the game right now is trying to provide.
Everyone wants to be the one collecting the subscription fee. No one wants to be the one trusting the guy collecting the subscription fee to give them a fair cut.
I'm always surprised too. At least the market is sorta working.
In a lot of ways Netflix won. Many people aren't going to bother pirating their content and would rather just pay or at least subscription hop. We're in the greed portion of streaming where everyone wants a bigger and bigger slice. If Netflix did not create original content, I'm not sure they'd still be around.

Yeah, but they all want to be the one to run it.
In the meantime, there's Jellyfin.
So basically just cable but for the internet age.
And also remove Digital Restrictions Management (DRM)

I've been using netflix and paying for it every month, but I also subscribe to a netflix downloader because there's no way for netflix videos to be saved permanently and that bothers me.
I don't speak dutch(?) But life time license is available? Thats good
There is. Look at Streamfab (same company) as well as AnyStream. Both are great products.

Piracy is service problem
They didn't seem to have any problems before they started fucking around with their pricing and policies and everyone else also started their own streaming services, splitting everything across multiple subscriptions instead of 1, convenient service.
I could keep up with what's available where and shuffle my subscriptions around every few months to see what I want when it's new... But it's way easier to just use a torrent site now.
How are the pirates so good at this without even taking my money? Maybe they should teach the money people how the computers work.
