Tradition costs $0/per year
Modern costs approx. $5000/per year (if you subscribe to every single streaming service at the same time.)

Just give us back the Netflix of old or some kind of one gathers all (even most would be ok) streaming plattform. Since they won't - at least for now... well, my subscriptions are already canceled and finding new platforms even with Geo/DNS blocking by providers and blacklisting on major search engines in place is comparatively easy to do.

I want to add something to that. Even when the core of the problem very clearly is rooted in corporate greed, you can count the days, when it’s again the pirate‘s fault, that they can’t get enough money. Account sharing is just Netflix publicly calling the minor, first shots due to a similar trail of thought. When the market crumbles due to the inevitable diversification, they are going to look for the easy scapegoat yet again - I‘d bet on that development.
And then we still won’t get the much needed modernization of copyright laws from a consumer’s perspective, with all of the last ones being purely beneficial to copyright owners - not the small creative artist but big corporations. What we‘re going to get, yet again, are politicians influenced by biased reports and heavy lobbyism trying to please big corp by changes to the law tailored to said corporate greed even more.

The only true way to watch movies

Online pirate streaming websites.
Skiping ads is pain for seeing film with absolutly horrible bitrate. BUT FREE! And without download time.

u/aineri Feb 02 '23
You can actually download movies with torrent, no shitty illegal websites needed

How can I know if my download isn't some other file.

You can find some trust worthy torrent sites that basically never give you any harmful files, in my experience atleast

Don't take this the wrong way, but you'd be insane to go to pirate bay.
That place has fallen, and downloading anything from there is a gamble.

Are there any good alternatives you could recommend?

u/We4thl3y Feb 02 '23
1337x is a much safer alternative

Or you could get a Linux sistem and pirate all you want, cuz virus that are made for windows don't tend to work on Linux.

I wouldn't recommend relying in platform incompability to protect you from malware. There are two main reasons:
1) With the growing popularity (and the steam deck's popularity mainly) there is malware being made for linux, although not much still.
2) And most people use WINE for either games or some windows software and there is malware that can infect a linux system through WINE.
What I simply recommend is a VM, whichever OS you use, be it windows, Linux or Mac.

The only rules that really matter are these: What a subscriber can do, and what a subscriber can’t do.

same goes for certain sporting events that demand 80€ for a single night live stream. If you charge acceptable prices, I would be happy to pay

Does TPB even work still?

u/Pam_P00vey Feb 02 '23
Yeah, but the place has more tumbleweeds blowing through it than torrents. I use 1337x.

"You know, Netflix. if every streaming service unanimously created an agreement to never exclusivity anymore then it'd be better for everyone."
"Mhh-hmm... Ignoring that completely, guess who has only one of the the two Paddington movies? This guy, boo-yeah!"

Nah pirate bay is just a collection of viruses at this point. 1337x is much less risky. Friendship ended with pirate's bay now 1337x is my best friend.

Wealth, films, battery power. No wonder the king of the pirates had obtained this and anything else the internet had to offer.
