    This right here is the reason why piracy is as big and healthy as ever.

    It’s not about the money. Hell, we’re spending thousands now whereas before it was at most a few hundreds per year. But now we can watch whatever we want without bullshit, without advertising

    It’s not about the ease of use. We now spent countless hours on building a libraries with everything we’d like to watch which I know will always be there

    It’s not about wanting to be “a criminal” or not caring about artists. Most artists get shit from Spotify, for example. We’d rather pay a few hundred per year to some foundation that will pay artists a fair share

    It’s about not wanting to deal with these huge anti social power monger companies and their shitty policies anymore.

    You can’t watch this, we won’t allow it.

    You can’t watch that, you live in a country where it’s bad for our profits if we allow you to watch that.

    You can’t watch this one because it’s better for our profits that we dropped this so you now need to pay double for some other provider because we decided so.

    We need to monitor your every move and excuuuusee me siiiirrr, i need to inspect ya aaasshole now… Please also give me all your personal information, minus the “please” because we’ll just take it

    You know, we’re so big now, and you have so little options, we’ll make you eat h add anyway even though you pay us

    Fuuuuuuckkkk all of that.
