Not going to lie, i think most consumers will take this lying down and that’s what Sony is betting on. The amount that actually turn to piracy is so small, and the price hike easily makes up for the customers they’d lose. I’d say most people on Lemmy know how to pirate (if not are pirating already) so it’s a bit of an echo chamber here where we assume everybody is just going to pirate so as to stop lining Sony’s pockets.
I’ve been meaning to look into adblockers but I really only use these sites for shit that’s not on streaming services so I don’t really think about it until it arises

In my experience the main issue with piracy is the ads.
Nothing better than trying to watch a show with my kid then having an ad pop-up with a girl fucking herself
Adblockers or torrents mate. I’ve not seen an ad in over 18 years.

It’s 2024 man, tormenting a movie takes about 10 minutes and then you neither have to worry about ads nor connectivity for the rest of the movie
Why do you have torment it? What has it ever done wrong to you? 😭
