Torrenting is becoming more popular again. The alternative to being allowed to pay to watch on an "insecure" device isn't switching to an attested device, it's to stop paying for the content at all. Games industry, same thing (or just play the good older games, the new ones suck anyway).

Finances, just pay everything by cheque or physical pennies. Fight back. Starve the tyrants to death where you can, force the tyrants to incur additional costs and inefficiencies where you can't.
