I don't get what's the point of this. Why do I have to have a cable or dish subscription... TO WATCH SOMETHING OVER THE FUCKING INTERNET?!?!?

Because cartels, that's why. You can thank Ajit Pai for that.

you need a licence to consume a digital good

if you have a subscription to a cable service you have a license to consume the material provided as stated in the license agreement.

would you think for a fucking second before posting

advertisers

cable companies purchase channels to resell them to consumers
cable companies then sell advertisement time to offset the costs and make further profits
those advertisement contracts are only valid for those markets and those distribution methods

Stop. Advertisers have already paid for it, user.

Why do you even care? Seriously. I'm in the EU and the apartment complex I live in has basic TV "cable" over ethernet/fiber included in the rent and we've all got a free top-set box of some kind. Mine's still in it's unopened box in the basement. In this day and age.. why do you even care? The obvious solution would be not to buy/subscribe to that garbage.

>thinking netflix doesn't also have to pay an ISP at the upload end
How exactly do you picture their servers being connected to the Internet? Magic?

She's a retard who believed ISP propaganda and likes double-paying for stuff.

I have access to 3000 cable channels for free - Ask me anything.

If you want to watch something made by Jewish rapists, you gotta pay for the content itself. The bandwidth is a separate cost. Oh and don't forget, you gotta watch those ads goy! My friends at Nosenberg pharmaceuticals have some anti-depressants we'd love your family to have.

How?

IPTV

Where do you get the channels from?

There's various methods on how to do it if you think outside the box; I have batch links for several Firesticks in my house.

where do you get your channel lists? pretty interested in integrating this with my home setup so I can finally cut cable.

Explain these methods, for us mere plebeians who can only wish we knew how to do this ourselves?

Your best bet is to actually pay for an IPTV service if you can't figure out how to get it for free; it's not that expensive.

>implying you can actually consume digital goods and there aren't infinite copies

Pirate it. Otherwise it's gonna be unwatchable due to all the advertisements

i've been pirating shit so long now i actually don't know where i can download legitimate tv shows

IP laws are artificial scarcity designed to cause market stagnation and keep companies alive longer than they should be.
You aren't entitled to money because you work, you are only entitled to money if the market says you are.

>IP laws are artificial scarcity
All property is, user.

>You aren't entitled to money because you work, you are only entitled to money if the market says you are.
Money is an instrument of oppression. And so is your "market". Fuck off with your idiotic market, and fuck your money too.

Netflix colocates caching servers with thousands of local offices of ISPs. Net neutrality is not relevant to Netflix.

>paying for bandwidth consumption
How can one be seriously this retarded? Do you pay for higher sewer consumption if you shit a lot in a month, you fucking idiot?

He's Indian, he doesn't know what that means.

It was like that in the past here in my country.

>should pay for netflix's bandwidth consumption instead of netflix
Netflix has caching servers in the datacenters of every last-mile ISP. They already pay a premium you moron.

the washing machine company should pay the water utility since their machines use up so much water
never mind that the end user RUNNING the washing machine is paying for that exact water usage already

>All property is, user.
No, you absolute fucking retard. Land, minerals, human labour, etc. are naturally scarce.
