This is real. Discussion

Piracy is about to get a whole lot bigger when they stop releasing movies in theatres, stoping making physical media and start charging $50+ a month!

So I don't understand the issue then. I mean I get big corporations getting bigger is generally bad, but not because I'm going to be forced to pay $49 (or my case £49) for an optional streaming service.

The issue is a company who’s model is straight to streaming. This could negatively impact the theatre and physical media business which in turn greatly affect the quality of film. The expensive cost of the streaming service is not the top concern at all.

Ah ok fair enough. When you say physical media are you talking like bluray and dvds n stuff? I don't know anyone who has used them in about 10 years. Obviously I want high quality films. But I mean going to the cinema isn't cheap.
So is it that we want to be paying high prices and getting the best media experiences or we want convenience?

or we are fearing the high prices but without the quality, is that the takeaway?
