    How much money do you think they would have made if they gave away all their content for free.

    News is pretty expensive.

      I don’t know what is so controversial about this statement. Investigative reporting is fucking expensive. The people who do it need to eat. If you’re not paying for it, who is?

        People in this community can be a bit extreme when it comes to never paying for stuff and the need to justify it.

        I also like piracy but the constant justifications attempts are pretty annoying.

      You mean the world renowned, universally known news agency in America owned by billionaires?

        I am not familiar with who owns who in the USA. I do know that news wouldn’t get made if no one wanted to pay for it.
