notemily: bringmethathorizon: (via obsessionful) i’ve seen this floating around and it looks compelling, but i would point out that companies are trying to wedge in all those ads because they need to wring out every drop of revenue from paying customers to make up for the pirating. whether this is the best way to go about it is another issue, but this graphic seems to place responsibility solely at the feet of the companies, rather than the piraters who may be motivating this behavior by the companies.
