LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

It's not just the prices, people are lazy. You can go to one place and get all the things or search 10 different places.

Or they just demand good value for their service. Netflix hugely curtailed piracy in their early days. Same with Valve's Steam.
