När ska filmindustrin förstå. Eller mer exakt, när ska dom ändra sig, för dom förstår redan men vill inte göra något åt det.
Det är inte kostnaden som är det stora problemet med piratkopiering, det är tillgänglighet. Något som streaming tjänster har börjat förstå, men filmbolagens licencer inte riktigt synkar med...
Gabe Nawell säger detta mycket bra i en intervju från November 2011
"In general, we think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customers use or by creating uncertainty.
Our goal is to create greater service value than pirates, and this has been successful enough for us that piracy is basically a non-issue for our company. For example, prior to entering the Russian market, we were told that Russia was a waste of time because everyone would pirate our products. Russia is now about to become our largest market in Europe."
