Streaming services may be 'in control' but they're still as bad as, or controlled by, the studios they're replacing.
In the UK, suppose I want to watch Forbidden Planet, or Gone With The Wind, or Carry on Screaming. Show me a streaming service that has those films. I either wait 6 months and hope the TV shows them or.... hello bittorrent. Even more recent films.
Suppose I want to listen to Louis Armstrong, or Ella Fitzgerald? Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music all have those songs.
It's just a shame we didn't have higher bandwidth in the Napster era to do to the studios what it did to record labels.
