He isn't doing shit unless somehow they live next door. The ridiculous prices are one of the main reasons for the streams
Imagine owning MILLIONS and still losing sleep of internet piracy..
People don't understand how difficult it really is to control or contain the internet. Short of actually limiting all internet traffic like China does, you can't stop illegal downloads or streams.Internet is always undefeated you bald bitch!
Piracy will always exist, according to White, but as long as it does, he’ll try his best to limit it. All the while, he’ll enjoy the legal punishment handed out to perpetrators.
“They’re never all going to go away,” White said. “They’re going to be out there, and we’re not trying to get rid of all of them. I just want to catch a few. That’s all I’m looking for. You can’t shut the whole thing down. That piracy industry is going to go on forever. Let me catch a few and watch what happens — and I will. Oh, it’s coming.”
So he's went from "they will all be shut down" to "piracy will always exist".
The best thing you can do is make it more convenient to do things the "proper" way than the illegal way. Spotify and Netflix etc are why music and movies downloads aren't as popular these days.
But to buy a UFC PPV, you need to pay a subscription fee for ESPN+ and then buy the PPV itself for $70. Why should I pay for the "privilege" of buying a UFC PPV?
Just put all the cards on FightPass, maybe charge $15 or $20 for the biggest cards, and there you go. Done. Piracy reduced, increased revenue, easy peasy.
But they're trying the RIAA/MPAA route, which has never worked and will never work.
goat avDana got cucked by Sherdoggers
People were constantly streaming when the price was 40 bucks, and the cards were stacked.. That said 70 bucks, and thin as shit cards won't solve the problem.. Actually utilizing the ESPN Deal, and putting great fightsPiracy will always be a thing, but I seriously believe it could be deterred by lowering the price of PPVs, making cards worth the price, and giving fighters more of a PPV cut. But, those three things will probably never happen, at least not all together, so he's right - piracy will always be around.
He’ll run into a 6’8” Chad power lifter karate black belt and get his ass beatDana White should make a show called looking for a pirate, where he goes to the streamers house
Trust me, I'm just as stupid as everyone else hereYou are so right.
Thus I must ask, do you really belong here?
Yeah I used to be a cuck who bought PPV as well.. I think me hyping up Condit vs Diaz to all my friends was the last straw LOLI’ve bought PPv for decades. Boxing and mma.
I really can’t believe PPv is still a thing. With the current price tags of 70-$100. With mediocre cards.
I really think a lot of PPv buys come from newer fans. You can only cough up so much dough over many years and the price gets higher and higher and the product has declined drastically over the years.
I wonder what you would pay a year to watch all of the ufc fights today a couple thousand dollars with the ESPN subscription?
that’s not reasonable for any sports fan no matter the disposable income you have. You would have to be a sucker
