It harmed no one and nothing.

TV and Film are just angry that competition did it for a reasonable price and provided a superior service for it.

I have 0 sympathy for the studios/distributors but they also did not pay the licensing fees.

then i guess the studios should stop enshitifying streaming and make a service thats affordable and worth using, huh?
