The RIAA and MPAA are the driving force behind the copystrike behavior. I do think Alphabet has the resources and standing to resist and battle it in court, but that's clearly not their business model. Alphabet is not invested in protecting content generators, only in what metrics they can sell to ad agencies.

I love Trek but I haven't watched Picard or anything in the last ten years because it's not available.

I also have no interest in download a dozen apps to watch shit, and no interest in paying for individual channels.

Paramount/CBS keeps Trek viewership down by keeping their content walled off.

Just add hard drives until there is no play for vibration.

No

After Roddenberry and his wife passed there was no one to reinforce the ideals that drove Trek.
