EL BROMANCE posted:This does not describe a whole ton of legitimate services. Yeah stuff like steam and netflix really paved the way for the idea that legitimate services can be more convenient and worth the value over piracy. Unfortunately, this lesson seems to have fallen on incredibly deaf ears.

EL BROMANCE posted:Are you sending them checks directly then, because in case you haven’t checked the news recently… Choosing not to use the content distribution platforms that creators put their content on is one thing. Not using those platforms but consuming it anyway by stealing it helps no one but yourself. It’s not bread for your starving family. It’s creative output that you can absolutely live without if you don’t agree with the method of distributing that content.

I'm an American who lives overseas and it was a godsend when streaming actually got good and you could just easily watch whatever. Now it's not so good and they police the hell out of VPNs anyway so I guess I have to figure out whatever computer bipboop bullshit we're doing these days. I'm still happy to pay them but they don't want my money I guess.

If people are pirating so much stuff how are you storing it? Are you buying NAS drives and stuff? I feel like that sort of monetary investment defeats the purpose and undermines the message people are trying to get at, but I can't see story many of your animes on a 512GB SSD tbh.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:shut up Nerd It's a legit question, a lot of people are very proud of themselves for not paying for shows but if they've spent $300 on storage drives it means they've actually spent $300 on shows. And I know I spend less than $300 on streaming lol If you factor in cost of equipment and time I've known a lot of people that would've spent less if they just subscribed to streaming services rather than build a media server. In fact that seems to be the most typical case in my experience.

Dumb question, but is there some way to pirate sports stuff with zero commercials/marketing poo poo? Just like stitched together sports footage? I expect no way in hell this is available through a paid service, and I’d really like to get into some kind of sports watching, but every time I try the advertising is so off putting I end up giving up in disgust

but then you can sell those drives at a profit, because they're full of such valuable content

Nothing live, that’ll just be clones of whatever streams the sports networks provide. After the fact you can get complete games with the commercials trimmed out, presumably again from legit sources but if not they’ll just trim those out by hand before releasing.

Hold on honey we can't watch our show yet, the server crashed. I need to reboot it and then we need about 30 minutes to re-download because there aren't enough seeds. Ah hold on the VPN tunnel needs to be re-established, that's gonna add some time. What do you mean this sucks? Look at how much money I'm saving us!

Depends how many different channels you want to watch, $300 in drives could easily pay for itself over streaming in a year if you need 3 different services. They're cheaper in the long run easily even if you only paid for one service.
