    When people run out of money to pay for a billion subscriptions, companies will have to think hard about their business model. I don’t think the current trend can last forever.

    Look at the fragmentation of streaming services. Piracy is on the rise again because of it.

      That’s why I said gaming piracy before, I don’t think denuvo can protect media files (yet) and those are less likely to be malware or cryptominers anyway. So I think that aspect is safe for now at least, but rip gaming.

      Sure on the rise maybe in this small circle but it has declined alot from its peak.
