The shareholders of “streamers”, ISPs or the taxpayer?
The government is putting that responsibility on the TV industry. I expect that to be backed up by appropriated regulation.

As for your usual quip about the ‘source’ of the information, you have no proof to the contrary, and frankly you’d be better dealing with what the content says rather than who is saying it. If you have contrary evidence, I’m perfectly happy to read and (if appropriate), comment on it.
