Notably, there is a growing number of filmmakers, actors, and fans who believe the rising trend of internet piracy is justified. Actors and directors in movies and television want their art to be seen, and the red tape involved in the distribution of content around the world can be one of the biggest hurdles to conquer when getting your film to the fans. A well-known actor and director Werner Herzog (The Mandalorian, Jack Reacher) said publicly, “Piracy has been the most successful form of distribution worldwide.” The streaming industry will have to go through a massive restructuring to avoid the full revival of internet piracy, and it doesn’t look as though that will happen anytime soon.Source: The Daily Beast
