Continues from this post.
It is true that in the age of technology and the internet it is very difficult to stop such practices. Especially so when we are talking about culture and do not involve enrichment but mainly it is for personal use.
The implementation of new laws can slow them down. But only temporarily. Technology will always give the ability to bypass them.
For example, today we can use VPN to download movies. Tomorrow, something else will be invented.
Of course, the circulation of the news about fines for those who download or watch pirated material has probably increased or will increase the revenues for subscription platforms.
Therefore, there is no need to eliminate piracy, which, as I mentioned, is difficult to happen. The implementation of a law is enough, since it somewhat scares potential users.
Thus, recent attempts to restrict piracy, of course, only care about subscription platforms and the film industry.
And someone will ask, why shouldn’t cinephiles limit themselves to platforms?
But films disappear, reappear and change platforms so often that in addition to being expensive, it is also frustrating. You pay for some platforms and in the end you rarely get to see exactly what you want. And, damn it, films are a world heritage.
