    Nice logic, movies can also be downloaded for free via “third party”, does that mean studios should make them free because of that?

      Can’t download a movie theater which is where most of their money comes from. Streaming services definitely lose a lot of money and the only reason they can stay alive is in-house ‘recommendations’, high resolution/bandwidth streams, and compatibility with mobile devices. If third party sites/apps figure those three things out, will probably be tough to compete with.
