The slow march back to cable is unstoppable.

Pirate everything. Share everything.

Piracy is an access problem, not a consumer problem.

It turns out cable wasn't some unique product or way of doing things, it's just the natural form media delivery takes under capitalism. Streaming services are convergently evolving to take that shape too.

I mean that's not even a little correct.

Streaming allows you to watch videos on demand, and allows you to choose from a littany of providers, where you were previously limited to whoever laid cable in your neighborhood.
