Problem is that A LOT of companies abuse copyright. Examples with known services: - Several years ago I can only buy a lot of ebooks via Kindle Store (they weren't in other places).Actually reading them in Bookfusion (which is my preferred tool) required breaking DRM. - Spotify/Netflix - several years ago they required using their apps/sites only. Now I have to ALSO work around their geoblocks and they don't like this (so...they think I should try very hard to give them more money because they don't want them). There are a lot other services with those problems.

But:Torrent trackers still work same as before. Paid pirate equivalents of Netflix (!) also still work same as before.

Counter example:iTunes Music store/Apple Music and Steam - still works, it looks like Apple and Valme still want my money so they get it.
