PhoneBoy Speaks Ep 835: Piracy: It's a Thing

I’m not afraid to say it: piracy exists. It’s out there, competing with legitimate methods of content distribution that are clearly not serving the needs of users. How come almost none of the coverage around “cord cutting” is willing to acknowledge this fact? How come the video content industry as a whole refuse to acknowledge the issue and actually try and address the problem the way the music industry has?
