    Would you really put the blame on piracy for that when there are conglomerates manipulating the entire market? I’m not doubting they exist, but can you name a small business streaming service that would be affected by pirate services? I have never heard of such a company. I’ve seen small streaming services utilized by libraries but they are on government contracts and tax funded as far as I know.

      Local motorsports in the US.

      It’s a whack-a-mole of services which restream content, but the piracy services are also subscription based.
