Fully agree with you! My point was that it isn’t just the likes of Amazon that do this. If we look to piracy it’s growing in areas where a paid for service is either split across several providers or isn’t convenient.

I no longer pirate games or music as the paid for services are way easier to use and value for money.

The movie and tv companies started to have this when Netflix started but now there’s too many services and even on the same service the catalogues are different depending upon location. So instead of getting a share of revenue they get nothing.
