I got a reasonable deal on Disney a year ago. £70 is ok compared to other streaming sites. I only sub to one at a time as its expensive. Then I binge what I can. But with kids in the family I thought "sod it" and paid for a year. They get to benefit from all the cartoons. I got to watch all those movies and series.
I wasnt as impressed with the last Loki and Mandalorian. Felt they ruined that. Got to watch the new Star Wars movies, they were OKish. I dont feel that customers/viewers will come back to some of this stuff compared to even the prequel stuff. Its just not well written.
Yes stealing is an important life skill. Piracy is great for kids because they don't have money.
No what I mean is small time bands, indi films, things that dont make a lot of money. If they get stolen/pirated from surely we lose a small thing that isnt a major corp preaching to us?
If you feel like it and can afford it, sure, pay the small timers. But I'll also turn the flippancy down a little bit to remind you that piracy is not actually theft, that a hypothetical sale they might have made is not actually their property, and that there's no evidence that piracy hurts sales in the first place.
Leave it to the money grubbing media moguls to fuck up their own business model by inevitably overcharging for an inferior product or service. Get physical media or sail the high seas, comrade.
Why spend money for dvd quality when you can get good quality for free?
One thing is I like the idea of having stuff Ican access if the internet goes down (or i cant afford it any more). The other is the money goes to a local need rather than a big corp. I'm ok with that.
Stuff you pirate is still there on your hard drive when the internet goes down. You can move it, copy it, do whatever you want with it.
If you need another reason not to give them your money, Disney gave millions to Israel
yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me
