Re: Still might be a tad excessive
Where do you get the idea that this is about big media. The biggest losses are from small creators. Big media suffer loses but not on the same scale. Small creators are looking to sell stuff to large publishers, large publishers reduce the amount they are willing to pay because of piracy. Example: Google pay next to nothing and demand that someone's entire catalog is turned over to them. Otherwise they just let people upload stuff to YT and pocket the ad-revenue. Spotify work on the same principle "It may be peanuts but at least its more than nothing".
