Maybe Trump will legalise internet-based copying.

After all, the main people hurt would be Hollywood, which is run by people supporting the Democrats. And it would be popular with many voters (not an issue for Trump but it is for Republicans).

That seems an oversimplification.

Counter example: ownership of Amazon MGM Studios and its parent Amazon.

Selling streaming media is a side business for Amazon (and Apple), an add on as a way to move Amazon Prime and Apple One subscriptions.

They would probably benefit by handicapping Netflix/Disney/WBD/etc.
