Those “ad supported streaming apps” are still reliant on copyright.

Without it, why would anyone choose to view the movie with ads when they can just download it and watch it with no ads?

(Legally, since in this hypothetical, copyright doesn’t exist.)

Or are you just arguing for ad-supported viewing of content? Which is what currently exists for an enormous body of material. See, for example, YouTube.

Why indeed, I know how I consume media.

I support a wide range of monetization strategies and access to content by the most amount of people.
