I appreciate that video streaming needs big infrastructure, but simultaneous worldwide launches are surely the best anti-piracy strategy. All netflix originals launch worldwide, so there's less motivation to go seek out a pirate copy. But if a show or movie is not legally available in a country , folks will pirate it. The only alternative being to live like a hermit for months and never glance at a newspaper or magazine, and never join in office gossip to avoid spoilers.
Not such an issue with books, it's quite easy to know that a big author has a new title out , but not to stumble across plot spoilers
