billsfan89 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 When Netflix made streaming video easier and at a cheap price piracy went down a lot but once there became 1000 streaming services that cost nearly as much as cable used to then people just went back to piracy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Búfalo Blanco Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) I don’t believe I’ve missed a Sunday Ticket, one way or another, since my first in 1996… I remember setting up and activating that satellite multiple times myself. Also, you had to BUY the Directv satellite, receiver, etc. back then. All to watch the Bills… I’ve paid the suits plenty of my income, even when I had little to spend. So, if I’m occasionally using “questionable” means to watch Red Zone or a preseason game, excuse me Admiral Jerruh for not assisting you in acquiring another Imperial Star Destroyer..

Yeah, I'm not getting the whole "stealing is stealing" argument either. Technically it's true of course, but these huge companies steal from people every day. All you need to do is look on TripAdvisor to see people complaining about being overcharged or ripped off or getting a terrible experience in a large hotel or theme park, followed by the inevitable reply from said huge corporation that doesn't offer compensation or even an apology, just the standard "thanks for leaving feedback, we'll pass this on to the relevant team".

And you are right about the response to the banking crisis a "true" believe in free market capitalism should be entirely relaxed about the fact that the markets decided the big investment banks had failed, they should go to the wall. But that wasn't the response at all. Those who most complain about state intervention were suddenly desperate for it. And the state stood as the bank of last resort.

If I am that store owner and someone who can no longer afford the potatoes for his family runs in grabs them and runs out that is my fault not his. A better analogy would be you realizing that potatoes sell really well, but turnips, rutabagas, and beets don't sell as well, so instead of selling bags of potatoes, you "bundle" a mix of potatoes and less popular root veggies. Now, people can't just buy a potato or a bag of potatoes without also buying something they don't want. That's how the streaming packages work. All I want are Bills' games - the "potatoes," as it were - so I'm paying $400 for ST (Sunday afternoon games only) and $120 for NFL Plus so I can watch live primetime games on my tablet (but not my TV or laptop). Both of those services have features I don't use and show games I'm not interested in, but I'm paying for the turnips, rutabagas, and beets, even though I just want potatoes. And because the NFL has a monopoly, I can't just buy my potatoes elsewhere. Hence, a black market for potatoes opens up. Black markets are a direct result of capitalism. If there's a demand, someone will supply it, regardless of the legality. As for me, I had DirecTV for about 20 years for the sole purpose of watching the Bills on ST. So I paid about $1300/yr for a bunch of mostly crappy TV channels and ST so I could watch 16 football games and four or five other channels on occasion. A few years ago, I tried to negotiate the ST price and they wouldn't budge. I threatened to drop DTV and they gave me an 800 number to call for that, so I did. I pirate-streamed one or two NFL seasons with mixed results. Then, my son went back to school and I signed up for the ST-only student streaming plan for $100/year and NFL Plus for another $100/year, both of which I consider reasonable. Now the pair is $520 (son is no longer a student), which I don't think is reasonable. But I can afford it and I don't splurge on a lot of stuff, so it's my guilty pleasure. I'm a semi-retired freelance writer, so I think, "How many articles do I have to write to pay for this and how many hours will it take me to write them? Will I get at least that many hours of enjoyment out of the football packages?" For me, the answer is yes. For others, the question may be, "What do I have to scrimp on in order to watch my favorite team?" Their answer might not be so simple. I realize football is not a necessity, but I understand why someone would just pirate-stream if the price is out of their reach. As someone else mentioned, they probably wouldn't have subscribed anyway. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 17 hours ago, HardyBoy said: They get their stadiums subsidized and largely paid for with public money...the games should be easily accessible to watch... or they could privately fund their stadiums and give back their anti trust exception. This was exactly the argument back in the 60s or 70s that forced the NFL to allow home games to be televised in the home market, if sold out 72 hours in advance. The public pays for so much related to the operation of the team that it's wrong to put restrictions on viewing. Of course now the home market can still see home games, but there are so many fans of most teams spread around the country that being a Bills fan should allow a person to get all the Bills games for a reasonable cost on a single streaming service. For this, I'd say NFL Sunday Ticket qualifies. But games on days other than Sundays should also be available, without a separate service or subscription. It's time to rattle Congress's cage about this. 32 minutes ago, RiotAct said: Taylor Swift. And I'll bet if Taylor Swift wanted to buy an NFL franchise, all the other owners (at least all the men) would be happy to let that happen.

frostbitmic Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I only watch the games on network TV and ESPN. I haven't bothered with Amazon and haven't missed Thursday night games a bit. I won't pay peacock or you tube either, and I don't stream (my PC is old and too slow to stream anything, and I just don't care enough) Eventually they'll put the playoffs and Super Bowl on PPV and charge $100, and all games will end up on pay as you go services. In doing so, they'll lose fans like myself, but all things reach a peak then regress and the same is or will happen with the NFL. It has already started to lose me a bit.
