>>95537873>most of it I end up buying later when I have the chance because I want to support it.It's true that a lot of people who pirate wouldn't buy it anyway (piracy allows the consumption of significantly more media than people could afford buying most things), but I think this mentality of buying it later is pretty uncommon.
Also, people who pirate usually pirate almost all of their media, but if they couldn't pirate they'd at least buy SOME media. For example in the old days people would probably buy only a couple of CDs a year at most, and though once they could pirate they'll listen to orders of magnitude more music, most of which they'd never buy in the first place, they're no longer going to bother buying those couple of CDs a year, which is where the problem comes in.
As many companies have finally discovered, though, by making cheap subscription services that offer a similar dearth of options like Spotify and Netflix, this solves the problem of people no longer buying anything because they can get so much more media for free than they would ever afford legally.
The problem that piracy presented was not that people just want free shit, but that suddenly people had an unbelievable amount of options for media instead of buying a handful of movies/albums a year, and now that anyone can afford services that rival that crazy amount of options, the problem of piracy is going away.
Marvel has Unlimited, but all of comics need to be getting in on the idea of cheap subscription services instead of this nonsense $5 a month for one fucking comic.
