It kind of surprises me that piracy has taken a huge chunk of profit out of the music business and yet that industry never really cracked down on piracy in earnest. There was a time when people were getting sued, but that didn't last for long. That tells me that pretty much nobody cares if stuff gets pirated, including the government.
I feel like the government are the ones supposed to fight these things. I mean, I do not truly know how it works, but I understand that the government are supposed to be the ones who make the environment better for people to do business. That is why people pay huge taxes, and the more business and money you make, the more taxes you pay. But since the government are not the one losing the money, they don't pay attention to it.
It's worse because only governments of developed countries care about piracy; the underdeveloped countries don't care at all, and the majority of piracy goes on in these countries. Illegal sports streaming sites, illegal movie and music sites.
In all of this, I find music piracy more annoying. I don't think there is any platform where you can subscribe to movies and TV shows where you get all the movies, but with a music streaming platform, like Apple Music, Spotify or YouTube Music, you get every single song for just over a dollar a month, yet people still pirate them. Why? To what ends?
