No problem. 29 billion less for Ukraine.
💯
It’s not a cost - it’s potential revenue.
And it’s not even a potential revenue since studies show nobody pirating would have any plans to actually pay for the service.
Except studies have shown these folks were........ NEVER GONNA BUY THE SERVICE EVER... So they actually showed almost no losses.
Yeah, but do you think some ancient GOP representative is capable of understanding something like that?
The great American way, Protecting profit for large corporations. Try taxing large corporations appropriately and the us economy would boom..
We already are, we dont have an income problem, we have an spending problem
DON:T pass ANY more bills. every time you do something gets changed and we lose some part of our freedom.
Can’t be talking about Tik tok I watched that hearing.
You could easily argue it saved 29 billion for the economy
Wow I am in tears - perhps if the US has such high prices then piracy wouldn't be an alternatives - The Pirate bay is what he is talking about
And through prior attempts to curb this like with Napster, society found that trying to clamp down HURT sales. Sales shot higher when Apple and others removed blocks and simply made it easier and cheaper to legally get it.
Lower the barrier, and people will do things legally. Some people will always steal regardless and you can’t stop that.
Hmmm
Can someone say paid for by lobbyists?
Great news!
The streaming services are the definition of corporate greed. Less people would resort to privacy if the services haven't routinely raised their prices while offering less and less to the user and adding ads to the mix. If you are going to show someone ads you shouldn't even be charging them a subscription fee.
Yea. Luckily the people will get their booty back!! Yay!!
Would you rather pay as much as 80 dollars a month for all the big streaming services or use a pirated site with an ad blocker.
Always the victim
Costs who, the Roc?
I would say that it saves the consumers 29 billions
No, they were never going to buy them, it’s a silly way to look at it. It’s like making copies of dvds and giving them to friends then claiming you lost money cause they didn’t buy them from you… makes no sense.
Bra yall be chasing issues that dont matter 😂 this is obvious someone is lobbing against this issue
