I wonder what the impact on piracy will be? It’s probably harder to rip streaming services than it is to rip blu-rays…

Its trivially more difficult to do webrips. It will likely have the opposite effect of what you’re thinking of, some people that would buy blurays will just pirate now.

If someone buys a disc, they own it and it’s a one off. To be tied to subscription services will see the Jolly Roger fly again in Australia.

Remember when we were the country known to be the largest pirates?

We don’t even crack the top ten now. We used to be cool.
