    The solution would be to provide a better service, but that would cut into their revenue.

      It would reduce their short term revenue, but would improve their long-term revenue. Netflix used to have a great product, but they fiddled with it to make people watch only certain content that brings them more revenue. Same with Spotify. This then reduces the number of people willing to pay for the service and since there are few competitors that are better and/or have as much content they “piracy” is the only way to get the content you want for a reasonable price, with a good user experience.

      So short term these things improve revenue, but not as much as the revenue lost in the long term as people start to dislike the the poor experience or are unable to afford the higher prices. And people don’t want multiple services to have to check for new content all the time all with different poor Ux.

    What’s the threat exactly? Are we still pretending that the study commissioned by the EU, that stated piracy isn’t impacting the revenue of any copyright holder, doesn’t exist?

      Not until they lobby to have governments mandate all VPN services that want to do business in that country

      It is a problem for the profit seek enterprise and the media is shilling their side.

      I wish the media had as much concern about my income being suppressed the profit seek enterprise. But it never really happens besides odd lip service.
