Is privacy really that big of an issue? Netflix had insanely good revenue when they started out and there wasn’t much competition. The age-old saying is still true: “We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem”.
We again got to a point where you have to be subscribed to like 4 different providers, so torrenting is looking good again.
There will be people who will steal this and that, always have, always will. A tiny percent of this is just cheap, the rest is likely from poorer countries, and the (mind you, completely made up) value of these goods weren’t made for them - sure that $2 app really is cheap for you, but that is not globally true. (And it’s not like downloading that file cost anything to anyone). How do you fight against that? By making a good service and you make up a reasonable price.

I'm really curious about when you think this was, and what you mean. They started out shipping DVDs at a loss and took a very long time to become profitable--or to start the streaming service we know today.
