it’s what happens whenever the wealth has been extracted successfully… no one can afford anything anymore
Good. Not a single part of this from the players, to the managers, to the owners, to the broadcast rights holders need money more than a regular working person does.
They don’t give us enough for bread.
Now they priced out the circus.And they still make a ton of money because all the ads are also visible in the free streams.
I saw ads for Irish companies directed at Irish citizens. Never even heard of 90% of them before so not sure how effective they were lol
Life, uh, found a way.
Something something piracy, something something service.
— Someone who does nothing yet stays long ahead of piracy-whiner corpos.
In France we at least got the finale on free TV. But you had to pay to see any other match of the competition.
This is probably naive, but if they know about this, seemingly enough to trace ips and time spent streaming it, how come its so hard for them to block it?
You block one service, 10 more will appear. You cannot fight piracy, you can only migitate it.
Oh no! Won’t someone please think of the poor adults that already get paid millions to play a children’s game.
