    Let’s go to the early days of “piracy”

    You are claiming that fast forwarding the opening trailers and adverts on a rented VHS is piracy.

      No, i’m explicitly not, those aren’t tracked and nobody gets paid based on whether or not you fastforward. That makes it not piracy. The content creator gets paid.

        You know skip exists. Advertisers only pay when viewers watch at least 30 seconds of a long ad or engage with it.
