No true scotsman arguments are pretty unconvincing. What I described is how much of the world economy works in capitalism. It may not be to your ideological liking but this is what capitalism does, and the laws its writes, the social norms it dictates, the types of governments acceptable under it, the way it fights reform, the way it creates incredible inequality, the way it seeks for max allow price, and the politics it creates.

Had waving this with a vague "but but corruption" ignores the forest for the trees here. Not to mention your comment is provably false. Even the least corrupt capitalist states suffer from the exact same mechanisms and their own streaming prices are going up as well.

Capitalism creates corruption, regulatory capture and bribery. Also created those laughably long copyright laws. It's the same picture.
