Honestly, this is why we should have stuff like anti-monopoly laws breaking apart too-large corps.
Being a behemoth that can just buy up almost all the content producers and then starting your own content distributor (/steamer) and undercut the competition is dirty.
We do certainly have some anti-monopoly laws, though not extensive enough in my opinion. However the ones that we do have are rarely enforced properly and effectively. More laws alone won't solve that, we should really have better enforcement as well.
Sorry, this is what I meant. The laws that exist should be APPLIED to break this shit up
I figured you did, but I wanted to provide further thought for other readers :)
