00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,120
like a rash that just won't respond to medication internet piracy is one of

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:12,160
those things that will never go away completely but for a time it seemed like

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,920
the movie and music industries had found a pretty good way to reduce it

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,080
everyone and their dog had a low cost

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:26,480
convenient subscription to netflix for tv and movies and to spotify for music

6
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:28,960
and times were good but recently piracy

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,880
is suddenly back on the rise why i mean it's not like the streaming

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:38,640
services themselves are becoming less popular in fact last year netflix usage

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:44,480
overtook cable tv subscriptions as it was estimated that 76 of us consumers

10
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:52,559
were subscribed to netflix compared to only 67 percent on cable but at the same

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:55,360
time traffic on bittorrent has surged

12
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:59,199
and while there are uses for torrenting other than piracy

13
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:04,239
let's be honest it's been one of the go-to services for people sharing

14
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:09,439
content illegally for quite some time so what's behind this then well funnily

15
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:14,560
enough the streaming services are currently in the process of making the

16
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:20,080
exact same mistakes that the cable industry did in years past ever since

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:24,960
valve launched steam for games it's been widely accepted that the surest way to

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:31,439
curb piracy is to make paying for content affordable and more convenient

19
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,119
than stealing but here's the rub when you pay for a streaming subscription

20
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,439
you're not just paying for the small handful of shows or movies that you

21
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:43,759
actually want to watch you're paying for that service's entire catalog and part

22
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:49,119
of the reason that people have been abandoning cable is that they don't want

23
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,840
to pay a hundred dollars a month for 200

24
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:57,520
channels that they don't care about now your average streaming service is

25
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,200
only 10 or 15 bucks a month and with the

26
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,240
variety that they've traditionally provided people found them much more

27
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:10,720
palatable and their popularity exploded the issue now is that both affordability

28
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:13,520
and variety are under fire

29
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:18,640
the reason is that content producers don't want to share their revenue with a

30
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:23,760
third-party platform and while netflix is known for producing its own catalog

31
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:26,080
of original shows most of its offerings

32
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,160
are still from other rights holders that have licensed netflix to carry their

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,239
shows and movies with netflix getting a cut of the profit so recently many

34
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:37,280
license holders have said to themselves hey

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,640
why are we giving netflix a cut when we could just launch our own streaming

36
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:46,239
service and keep all the revenue for ourselves and you know what yeah i can

37
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,959
see why that might be enticing after all if the customer paid 10 or 15 bucks to

38
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:54,480
watch movies once why wouldn't they do it again and then again

39
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,480
and then again well therein lies the issue this

40
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,920
approach has changed the streaming marketplace to one dominated by netflix

41
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:09,440
and to a lesser extent hulu to one where tons of services are popping up with

42
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,760
rather popular exclusives only available on one first party platform want to

43
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,879
watch game of thrones well it's an extra 15 bucks a month for hbo now even if

44
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:23,200
game of thrones is literally the only thing on the platform you care about fan

45
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:28,080
of the grand tour better get that amazon prime video star wars fan don't miss

46
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:33,200
disney's upcoming disney plus so then with all of these options you

47
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:39,440
can see how easily 10 or 15 dollars a month can turn into 60 or 75 or even

48
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,360
more depending on how many of these fragmented streaming services that you

49
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:47,040
need to subscribe to in order to see all your favorites

50
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:52,720
and then at that point we can see why people might begin to explore other

51
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,959
options the cost is now getting close to

52
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:59,760
a cable subscription and a freaking tivo box what here is it and as for the

53
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:05,519
convenience well that's where we can see how going back to piracy could certainly

54
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,879
seem appealing even if you can afford it

55
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:12,319
keeping up with all those different services can be a massive pain compared

56
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,799
to having one site that's your one-stop

57
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:19,440
shop with larger media companies seeming to be mostly on the cut out the

58
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:23,280
middleman train it looks like the only thing that might reverse this trend is

59
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,120
them taking an actual hit to their bottom line so i'm going to be

60
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,759
interested to see how the next couple of years play out

61
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,880
until then it might be worth putting an extra few dollars a month in the cookie jar if you

62
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,320
really can't get enough of stranger things

63
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,160

64
