Christopher Nolan slams Warner Bros.' dual-release plan, calls HBO Max the "worst streaming...

[Burty117]

It is one of the only way to beat pirates.

Make it easy to access content and make it reasonably priced, consumers will come.

Crunchyroll used to illegally stream anime after it being broadcast in Japan. They went legal and brought simulcast streaming for a subscription, a majority of people who could afford signed up.

Well you can't "beat" piracy, it will always happen and that's not something that will ever change, there will always be people who are willing to go through many hoops to get hold of stuff for free regardless of legality.

The problem mainly stems from all these companies making life much harder for the paying customer. It should not be easier for me to torrent a 4k movie than to purchase a 4k movie (blu-ray or download) but alas, here we are with a load of multi-billion dollar companies still confused as to why so many people pirate their movies and TV shows.

It was the same with the music industry.... once they realized that people WERE willing to pay for music - just not $20 for a CD with 1-2 songs they actually wanted to hear - things worked out a lot better for them.
