old piracy arguments, but whole starbucks loses a coffee, when it's stolen, netflix doesn't lose anything if someone who doesn't have the money to pay for it, pirates it. ob the other hand, it even gains reputation and maybe a customer in the future. it's not even a good the consumer then owns - it's a license for watching.but theft is just not justified.
That’s what’s hard to understand. HBO NOW is priced the same as most cable companies charge for HBO on their cable packages. The price was set that way to “not cannibalize” Cable HBO.HBO Now is already too expensive. I can’t see me paying even more for the extra content I either don’t care about or can somewhat access elsewhere.

This seems like a straight up attack at Cable. If HBO Max is slightly more, then people will stop paying for HBO Cable subscriptions. They probably don’t want it under “HBO NOW” because that matches the Cable HBO offerings... do this is AT&T taking their “Warner Media” ball to use for leverage with Direct TV vs Comcast/NBC and other combined companies.
Fubo itself is $55 / month.
Most people don't realize what they are actually paying when they add up the services.

Unfortunately, I think most people would rather have a choice what to watch rather than being forced to watch a few shows until changing the subscription.
Families and couples also have different preferences.

Streaming services have proven that it works if you provide a wide variety of content for a reasonable price. Now, piracy has declined. if you raise the price - either directly or by fragmentation - it will eventually return.
As another user already said: copyright violation or freeloading (that's what it is, not theft - that word is industry-propaganda) might be morally wrong. But greed is definitely wrong.
