Honestly I'm not surprised, I haven't seen much of a physical media culture around these parts, and Australians who do actually want to own and collect dvds, bluerays or whatever, can also afford Amazon or some other provider. Though niche, I've seen more interest in collecting music in vinyl records, than in collecting movies as physical media.
All I'm saying is, if anything made piracy more popular here, it was the increase in streaming services prices and the poor variety of content forcing you to subscribe to too many platforms. I don't mean to be a party pooper but I don't believe this will make a big difference in either piracy or consumer satisfaction. The changes have already happened.
Agreed
Back in the Era where the only streaming platform available here was Netflix, the only reason anyone had to pirate was when Foxtel held rights to shows like Game of Thrones and there was no legitimate way to watch it besides subscribing to a $50/month cable package.
Edit: Holy run on sentence. I’m sorry.
