    everyone is forced to pay for media

    Anon never copy vhs, cassette tape, cd, and dvd. I lived in southeast asia and pirated cd/dvd is openly sold in night market and low foot traffic part of the mall throughout the late 90s till early 2010s, only occasionally they got raid. Before that we basically record show from cable and rental then copy for each others.

    But yes, as GabeN proved again and again, piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. Almost.
