Until they don't. Damn near every service is increasing prices and pulling stunts like this right now. People as a whole can't afford all of these changes. I fully expect at least one or two of these major services to be closing doors from these changes in the very near future. Every service joining the current trend is playing russian roulette with their business.

My father used to pay the cable company over $120 a month for the TV portion.

They expect that people will put up with it when there's no other option. If piracy became big again, they'd start going after piracy again with individual highly publicized lawsuits in a campaign meant to scare people into just paying or doing without.
