This is the problem with modern copyright. Content creators needs to be paid, but they should not be in control of what the public can do with their shows. We need a standard price to pay for a standard license.

Heck let them set their own price, but any special deal should be considered a breach of the monopoly they have been granted - no more favoring one streaming service over another. No more region or geolock.

Since they are so happy about tell us that we have brought a CD, not its contents I should be allowed to get that content however I want and pay a standard fee in a standard way.
