> No one is price gouging. You can easily survive without watching ANY media. You can also easily only pay for the exact media that you want at the exact time you want.
It's 2024, we shouldn't be content with only what's needed for "survival" and we shouldn't accept being exploited in order to have access to art and culture. With modern technology and nearly free and instant global distribution art and culture should be increasingly made more accessible to everyone, but instead the paywalls grow ever higher and arbitrary restrictions are put in place.
Sadly we can't always pay for the exact media that want. The amount of lost works is increasing. Streaming services are pulling content and refusing to release it on physical media making it unavailable, and they are censoring content making unedited works unavailable at any price (at least legally). Expect the problem to get worse.
Agree with everything, but the way to do that is lower copyright lengths. A much simpler, cleaner way to solve the issue across all businesses with minimal government intervention and opportunity for corruption.
And the solution to end slavery is to reduce the maximum allowed enslavement length - I man to outlaw it. But in the short term that doesn't mean you shouldn't run away and ensure your own freedom instead of waiting for something that likely won't happen in your lifetime.
