      I had cousins account and I found torrenting still much more convenient than having to open Netflix in the propper browser or app to play with semi-decent quality.

        In my country, Netflix shows often come out later than in the US so why pay money when I can get a greater variety of shows earlier for free on other streaming sites?

        Streaming is a gray area. Germany is relatively strict with torrents but on streaming, you neither own nor share it at any point

              In Russian law only sharing is illegal, not downloading. And proving your intent is impossible if you don’t have formal education. Basically “I didn’t know” is rock-solid defence.

    Back when I was telling everyone to watch Severance.

    "Is that on Netflix?

    -hum, Apple TV I think.

    -you have Apple TV ?

    -…sort off"

    I watched it at a friend’s house.

    You don’t know her, she doesn’t go to this school, lives in Canada.

    Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.

      There’s few things that piss me off as much as self-righteous pirates. You want to say you’re doing this out of a moral stand? Boycott. Give specifics for what union terms would be good enough for you to deign to pay people for their work. Check with the actual people in the industry for if they would prefer you pay or pirate. For every dollar you’re not paying, donate it to a union.

      Or just admit you’re pirating selfishly because you can get cool stuff for free and rely on other people to fund.

          Radarr is your personal fleet that will go plundered and get the booty for you while you lay in your comfy hammock drinking rum.

          (You tell Radarr a movie and it will download it for you, rename it and add it to your media center automatically, also for upcoming ones. Sonarr does the same for shows, downloads the episodes once they are out.)

          Jellyfin can be self-hosted with Radarr to automatically download shows you want to it and be streamed with Jellyfin.

          Glorified VLC.

          Look, for me to “stream” movies to my friends using VLC I have to set up a finnicky RTSP server and get the settings right and then even then half the time it chokes on the video and the stream stops because it doesn’t like certain file types/encodes.

          Jellyfin takes out all the hard work of setting up a complicated streaming service for you and your friends.
