too bad this means only losses for the middle-men, that also pump millions into lobbying for increasingly stupid IP laws - so it's not likely to happen :/

This is simple, Netflix was almost there a decade ago, but they decided to start producing shitty geo-locked content and adopt a shitty price model.

Media companies also stopped leasing their content to Netflix so they could make their own crappy streaming services. It wasn’t just Netflix’s fault.
