Won't someone think of the billion dollar businesses?

    I don’t really sympathize with the government or media producers on this one, but I do see it’s a challenging problem they’ve built up in their mind. However, legalizing at-will censorship is not a great way to address this

    It'll just drive people to IPTV via VPN

    I mean I don't subscribe to any services and I don't even pirate that much anymore. I just don't give a fuck about anything anymore. Everything has just become so fucking adversarial and depressing. Like we have such a limp dick future. It is so depressing seeing the type of leadership in this world that you know, who the fuck needs a story for... I mean it's just so sad reality. It's such a shit show. The types of movies that people are putting out. I mean the music. Everything sucks. Like I don't want to steal your garbage. I don't want to watch your garbage. Like, there's just nothing worth stealing anymore.

    I just can't get behind this mentality. Yes things aren't great in a lot of ways, but there is still great amounts of creativity and innovation all around us. If you stick to algorithms and pop culture to find it, you will be disappointed, but if you put some work in to find gems among the artists at work today, you can still find very inspiring work.

    Pretty ironic considering they don't play any sports of their own.

    Sure would be good if people by and large just stopped watching sports because of this bullshit.

    Fuck them. I hope it comes the day where all the sports media fail. People pirate because if you follow a sport, the only way to watch it is basically paying your firstborn to a media company. And that if you are lucky. Insports like football, you need at least 2-3 different subs to watch it all, putting the price well over what someone is able to pay.

    They also keep raising prices, so year after year, prices go up and all you can do is suck it up.

    At this point, it's no wonder people pirate. I mean, who can afford 100€/month to watch their favorite sport?

    Fuck them. I really hope piracy wins in the long term. Keep fighting pirates!
