Every Arthouse Buff You Know Is Pirating Films
Every Arthouse Buff You Know Is Pirating Films
As streaming services delete their own films and DVDs of classics go out of print, some of cinema’s most interesting movies are illegal to watch. Should you do it?
Of course I’d download a car…
I never got that. A download is a copy. It's not taking the file away from the hoster.
If you download a car all the car manufacturers lose is somebody that is either too poor or too cheap to purchase a car from them.
Obviously that is a multi hundred trillion dollar loss but aside from that, what is the actual harm in downloading a car?
But But I didn’t SELL you the copy!!!
So I lost aLL the monie$ I could have made selling it. So like 11ty bizzallion dollars
I'd download a kitten too.
Oh yes. And border collie puppies!!
Would you down a load?
I'm not pirating, I'm safekeeping. Just in case.

Seriously, I pay for cable TV, I have subscriptions to Hulu, Disney Plus, and Netflix. Anything I watch or listen to that I think I might want to watch or listen to again is in my vault. I'll gladly stream Futurama and Wednesday. If anything happens where I need to unsubscribe for one of those services because of their actions, I will be missing nothing.
if it cannot be purchased it is abandoned media
media industry has cancer mentality, people should only engage them on selective basis when the fee was earned.
they keep pushing boundaries and we accepted that and this is where it got us lol
2010s tech companies "disrupted" a lot of things, we larped it and now they are attempting to extract their fee while providing less services. they feel brazen.
