Nah, streaming is still completely free
yaaaaarrr tis cheaper than eva matey
They want >$100 a month to come out with maybe one movie and maybe two TV shows worth watching each year? No thanks, piracy for me has become more of a means to assuage my fear of missing out and keeping in touch with the cultural moment than actual enjoyment of the media they're putting out right now.
I do not believe the quality would go down if their budgets were cut significantly.
The era of cheap streaming is over, now begins the era of free streaming
Long live 1337x and Stremio.
era of torrenting unaffected
Is that true? Most of the best public trackers got shut down. Anything left has bots recording your IP and you're getting a letter from your ISP.
If you're not on a private ratio tracker or paid tracker it's basically a non starter. So I'm not sure about unaffected era the last 10 years have been brutal for pirates via torrent.
VPN has been necessary for pirating for a long time. And fortunately a VPN is cheaper then any streaming service, and has other benefits besides.
Not on my Emby server
Oh well, there's plenty of space for all of ya here on the high seas, welcome aboard, mateys!
