I'm torn. I think everybody should fight back the predatory practices of the entertainment industry. But the more mainstream the piracy practices become, the more crackdown there's gonna be, and the more of a hassle it's gonna be to find pirated content.
the more pirating there is the more incentive there is to find ways around the crackdown too so wouldn't be too worried. also they will presumably stop when they understand that pirating does not decrease when you increase crackdowns (or does not increase because of less crack downs).
If enough people pirate, there will be popular support for reforming copyright, so eventually there's less crackdown

And will continue.
I bet we'll reach a point again where normal services are just so shit that piracy is normal again. Then they'll try and take down even more things. Hopefully then we'll decide to move operations to I2P.
and that's only what can be confirmed.
I wonder what happened in those four years that gave people a lot of time to watch movies but not a lot of money to pay for them 🤔
Literally every single time I want to watch any specific movie it's not on any streaming service without buying or renting, and I don't mean new or recent movies. So yeah, I'm pirating again.
