    Piracy is a capitalism problem.

    People don’t pay what it actually costs, people pay that + the revenues the company brings home. And that’s a lot now.

    Operating at a loss is a standard practice that is not only meant to drive user adoption, but to (whoops!) remove competition with smaller bags to pay losses from. So we end up with a few services that do whatever they want.

    This is not okay.
