Remember March 2012, when SOPA and PIPA were about to pass, and many websites were blacking out as a form of protest, some people were advocating for a "Black March" to have everyone boycott Big Media, pirated or not, for the entire month? Yeah sure it didn't spread like wildfire because of course, the population is already too addicted to popular culture to drop it cold-turkey, but at this rate people may be forced to give it a go by force.
Wouldn't it be great if one company would get with each of the streaming services and put them under one umbrella. They could rent you a device that is mandatory for the service. While charging you a large subscription fee. Even better yet that could lock additional content behind another paywall. Direct TV and the cable companies need to hurry before someone beats them to it.
