mr roboto has told me that people using finish (finland is not in london or the US, it's a different country) operating systems are mentally ill

how should I learn about important things like this when I'm not allowed to stream mr roberto?

I pirate everything from movies to vidya since 2001, feels good man

You are truly lucky to be living in a country where you freely can transmit ones and zeroes across tubes. I have to pay for the service and I am limited in how many ones and zeroes I can transmit per second.

go choke on some corporate dick, faggot

literally never paid to watch anything, not even illegal in my country you retarded pink haired Swede cuck. hope you die in fire.

So you're saying that people are basically children who can't make their own decisions?

>literally never paid to watch anything
literally impossible

What a surprise.

yes, if they weren't, there would be no need for an advertising industry

>paying for quarks and electrons
Those individual indivisible elements are not what gives items their value, it's the way they're structured.

never paid for a content that was provided for a certain price. like movies or porn. if you mean that I indirectly paid by buying a monitor to watch an image on the screen you are a bigger hopeless retard than I thought. get gassed, Ahmed.

what, are the other 31% retarded or something ?

>people are basically children
The keyword you left out is "majority", the majority of people, yes.

pirating
No, you're not pirating. What you're referring to as piracy, is in fact, unauthorized copying, or as I've recently taken to calling it, unauthorized sharing. Piracy is not the act of obtaining an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work, but rather robbery or criminal violence at sea.

Many computer users make unauthorized copies every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the act which is widely performed today is often called piracy, and many of the people who do it are not aware that it is basically copying, and not stealing.

There really is a piracy, and some people are doing it, but it is just robbery at sea. Piracy is an act of theft: an action at sea in which goods are forcefully transferred from one ship to another. Piracy is important to be aware of, but unrelated to unauthorized copying; it can only function at sea. Piracy is normally not used in combination with unauthorized copying: the two acts are basically seperate. All the so-called piracy is really unauthorized copying.

why would i wanna steal propaganda.

Found the leaf

>file associations, defaults, etc
All very useful..

That's not the implication. I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

Just a friendly reminder that this argument is totally baseless and not backed in any way by science. Entertainment industries are making more money than ever, I don't feel the least bit guilty. I already pay for a few services, but at some point you have to draw the line, Im not going to pay for amazon prime for one show, STARZ with amazon for another, hulu for something else, etc etc. And how are blu-rays+digital copies of movies like $30 (some as high as $40 CAD)? There is no way it should be more expensive than a movie ticket, and there should be an option to just get the digital download for cheaper, which there isn't.

But ya, its a complete bullshit argument either way you slice it, and putting the blame on "those darn millenials" is just a cop out.

I know, that's why I told you to run it :^)

no, i have programs which track and download my media ahead of time
this way i can enjoy media better than what my shit connection could do with streaming, with no risk of drop outs, and i can then play them again/move them to another device/share with a friend/etc. there's also no risk of it mysteriously disappearing

I am, it's legal in my country unless I am the one sharing it

"legit streaming is cheap!" is inaccurate for this reason
sure, one service may be cheap, but there's no one service with all shows on it, so too fucking bad if you want to watch something not on the side you picked, put up or pay up... or pirate, since torrent sites have it all
what they need to understand is that people will continue to pirate as long as it's a more convenient option
even if i had the money to burn for a bunch of different services, it would still be less convenient, as then i'd have a bunch of different systems and software for each set of shows, while with my current pirate setup, it's just kodi as a frontend for all my media, one convenient interface
not only do people not want to pay for several services to access one kind of media, they don't want to have to think about which to use for each show (it's like if you had to buy a cd player, a cassette deck, a record player, and a dat player, because labels only release on specific formats...)

>all shows
Netflix has everything I care to watch. I will never understand the inbreds who subscribe to multiple services. AT MOST I can understand temporarily subbing for some like insanely good show on another service, but otherwise I don't give a flying fuck. Two TV services is the most I'm ever subbed to, after that it's just cheaper to go with regular cable which I refuse.

So yeah, I just don't get your perspective. Unless you're an actual lazy fuck who should probably be put in rehab for TV addiction, I don't even get how you can view "all" those shows.

i haven't looked into exactly what shows are where, since it doesn't affect me, but i've run into all kind of publisher logos
just ran into a "youtube red" one the other day for the first time (Cobra Kai, which is pretty good)
do you actively look at services you don't use? it could also simply be that you're not aware of shows not on the services you subscribe to

>things Jow Forums autists will never understand

>I dont need or want something so that means no one else in the world should either
Actual autism. Obviously he's not trying to watch every tv show in existence, but for instance I liked the old top gear hosts who moved to amazon, I like some netflix original series and I like watching a few sports leagues. Its when you have one or two things that you want to watch on other services that it feels dumb to pay a monthly fee just for a handful of programs, yet you still really want to watch those shows

I'm very well aware of what alternatives provides. I'm aware that American Gods is supposed to be great, that Game of Thrones and Westworld are killer, that upcoming Castle Rock is gaining a lot of hype. What do all of these have in common? They're exclusives on services I'm not subscribed to. I'm aware, but I just do not care. Again if I'm really tempted, I'll temporarily sub for the season, but I'm not staying subbed for a handful of shows when [my main sub service] just has way too much content for me to even get through anyways.

This was a rhetorical question, right?

i don't watch all that many shows personally, but when i do, i don't want to have to think about who published it
i understand your point of view, you argue that "my one service has enough, i'll just watch something else", and that's fine, too. really, i do the same kind of thing with games, i'll pass on a game if it can't be run in linux/wine, because fuck windows.
my point is simply that having shows on different services like they are is an inconvenience for many people, and that this is a non-issue for pirates, that's all.

So you lack self-control and that's everyone else's fault? Either the show on another service is SO GOOD that it's worth the sub fee alone, and therefore is worth temporarily subbing to them, or it just isn't. Make up your mind, you can't be in the middle of the road claiming you REALLY want to watch a show but that it isn't worth $10/mo.

This is completely disregarding the reality that you could ultimately pay for the season through services like iTunes for generally cheaper than subbing to a service for the ~4months it runs for. Literally nothing to complain about but yet here y'all are.

-- i suppose, if netflix satisfies you for 90% of what you want to watch, you could just pirate the remaining 10%
meet half way kind of thing, still not legal, but if netflix is more convenient to you than piracy, this could be better than you currently do

Nah I still torrent everything

The only reason for me is that I like to evaluate a product before I hand the money over to the creator. I never want to reward someone for a bad product. That may sound cheap, but I think it's responsible. It keeps me with more money to spend on products I find valuable, I want to reward the right people. This is an important part of a capitalist society, responsible consumers. Without it, anyone can just create slop and live off of it.

I pirate first because you can't exactly get a refund or a demo on a film. You pay for it, you watch it, and the creators get money whether it was good or not. Better to just watch it first, and buy the bluray if you liked it. No harm in that, except for bad producers.

shouldn't it be stremileminals?

>you can't be in the middle of the road claiming you REALLY want to watch a show but that it isn't worth $10/mo
Sure you can. I really do like The Grand Tour (mostly Jeremy, Richard and James as performers/presenters, but thats aside the point), but I don't like the fact that I'd have to pay over $100 to watch them for one year. Also what does it have anything to do with self control? How can you actually defend mega corporations that are completely ripping you off, then trying to stop you from watching what you want through litigation? Also, the show I was talking about as an example, The Grand Tour, isn't available on itunes, or anywhere other than Amazon and only if you buy an Amazon prime membership.

Since you guys like to use terrible real-world analogies that don't really apply, I will too. If I want to go buy a bag of chips at the store that costs $3, I'm not forced to dish out $100/year and forced to also take a bunch of raisins and dried apricots that I dont want. I can just buy the bag of chips for what they're worth and leave. This is the only industry that works like this and its ridiculous that people are just totally ok with it. Nevermind that television was historically free, and they made their money with advertising, now they make shitloads from advertising, while simultaneously jewing their customers every step of the way

It's hilarious how retarded these networks are about how people consume the media too, some big shows have been cancelled recently because the boomer services that air them aren't getting good ratings, so they cancel the fucking show entirely and leave fans to create petitions and shit, nigga people aren't uninterested in your show, they're uninterested in paying for cable then paying individually for your channel, older people might have done that in the past but that era is well and truly over, the past 30 years have completely changed the way we share content as a species and if you don't adapt you're going to fail.

Big example of this is SyFy cancelling The Expanse, one of the best sci-fi shows ever aired, SyFy cancelled the show because they didn't include streaming views in their ratings, only their cable ratings.
Most of the people watching these shows are younger and not interested in cable, let alone buying the single channel just to watch one good show. They were legitimately surprised when there was public outcry over the cancellation because according to their data nobody was watching the show. No one was watching the show ON SYFY so they blamed the show and not the horribly dated cuck distribution model.

i blame clients hiding the streaming option
still not optimal if you want to use non-default sub or skip free file, depending on the encode it lags for up to a few minutes
took me quite some time to kick the habit of repeating enjoyable scenes

seek index should be at the beginning of the file, fuck i'm getting angry again

I pirate, porn,movies,music,e-books. I ain't ashamed to admit it. I'm 35. While I "could" pay for my movies,e-books,etc, the shit's there to be pirated already so why the fuck not? Save some money. My ISP certainly doesn't give a rats ass. Besides some stuff pirate is only way to obtain it. That popular yet rare show that ain't on DVD due to legal shit? Pirating is only way to get it. Netflix, yeah it's cool and cheap but they constantly change what they offer. Pirating, well that copy is yours forever (long as you make backup copies of it). Now some stuff I'll buy, say a film franchise I'm fond of or an artist I like, but anymore Hollywood is really sucky. Look at all the "remake" shows they're doing. Most of the "remakes" are really really bad, kicking dirt on the original show which was good. Same goes with films.
