Make going legit easier than piracy and piracy goes away

But unfortunately for the studios everyone wanted to get their own piece of the streaming revenues and fragmented the market. In a lot of ways it’s still better than the old cable tv system (everything on demand, no or at least fewer ads, higher quality programming) but the sheer amount of services someone needs in order to be able to watch everything (and even then it’s not 100%) is really turning people off.

If they’d all stuck with Netflix or whatever and every studio got on board there’d be basically no piracy now

Similarly, “presently” originally meant “soon”, but now people use it to mean “at this time”. Like “I will be leaving presently” could mean two different things depending on who’s saying it
