Once again, for the executives with CTEs in the back:

Piracy is a service problem. These people are fans and they can’t afford your product, or it’s simply not available in your area. Make up the loss on price reduction and availability through sales volume. Cut out toxic partners who try to MBA you into gouging. You’ll still be rich and your brand won’t be damaged from all the gouging & prosecuting you’ll be doing otherwise. What are you, fuckin Nintendo?

Not a bad idea, especially considering how it's so easy to stream fights, it might as well be free.

Why can't I have confidence when they say they will try to make access "free"? I don't know why but this smells like something similar to what they do with "free games" on cell phones

Main issue with that solution is that I would never give any money to the KSA to watch the Riyadh season. Or even watch it for free. They can sportwash by themselves
