I'm sure there's a diversity of opinion. But for many people if it's not on the streaming service(s) they decided to pay for, they will just pirate it. Especially HBO Max which has top tier content but don't exist in most locations.

>The US will pay billions more for the olympics than Malta but they both watch the same events.

I can't let this tangent go even if it's not either of our points... The Olympic coverage in the US is infamous worldwide for being absolutely terrible. And being a live event it's harder to pirate using magnet links.

I'm a big fan of piracy. The more taking part the better the torrent strength.

My comment was in terms of rights holders. I could see why they would want that. Netflix is caught in the middle.
