RE: Could streaming services like Netflix put an end to Bittorent piracy any time soon?
It does seem they will eat each other up and ruin a good thing for everyone. It will be interesting to observe how this will develop and if something better pops up. Maybe a cross platform service?
It would be a shame to see this fall apart which would lead to the Film/tv industry taking a hit.
Or maybe that could rejuvenate the cinema going experience..
How ever you put it, even though i will still pirate from time to time, i still find the bittorent influence bad for everyone involved. Even the consumer.
I think that as long as the individual services are kept low cost, that many people wont even notice that combined, it is costing them a relatively large amount of money. Also, I wouldn't say that torrents or the use of them anyway, is terribly widespread. The way that computer technology is going these days, attempting to show a vast majority of my friends how to select the only button on the page that isn't going to open a bunch of pop up windows and redirects on an already dodgy as shit looking site like 1337x, is pretty unlikely to be followed.
Most people these days know shockingly little about technology other than stuff that is going to instantly work on their smartphone or tablet. No offense to anyone with an I-Pad.
