Streaming Pirates Are Hollywood’s New Villains

Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and subscriber fees.

I don’t use these services either, but my understanding is that some of these thiefs seem to not even have a profit model. One prominent streamer who I won’t name, “FZ”, as the kids call it, they don’t require registration and are allowing those who use ad-blockers to access the site.

I don’t understand why Hollywood is even going after these guys. Just wait for their lack of monetization sweeps them under.

That FZ fella sounds like he’s got a nonprofit I could donate to.
