...they would realize they have the one thing everyone wants: eyeballs. Don't alienate those extra eyeballs, figure out how to better monetize them INDIRECTLY. Pandora and Spotify have paved the way. Even YouTube is setting a trend with how advertising can co-exist with streamed content. Have ad-free and ad-supported content. Let people share their account, but tie those shared accounts to ad-supported content. And, look, I get there are still challenges...I don't have all the answers to how to ensure it's a clean break between ad-free and ad-supported. But, if they rip the bandaid off and block sharing, watch the "subscribers" drop like a rock. And, loss of eyeballs/customers is something wall street does not respond kindly to.
