    I’m in college, and a lot of striminals don’t pirate streaming services like Netflix, but instead pirate live sports streams, because the legal alternative is pay like $70/mo for an ad-infested service. Nobody is paying that.

    Meta torrented terabytes of pirated books for their AI, and they’re the 4th biggest company in US

        It’s working fine for me. The number of torrents went way down, but picked up and are nearly back to normal now 👍

    I’m a millennial, but I don’t stream any pirated content whatsoever.

    I download it from Usenet or sometimes torrents in its entirety. That way I don’t have to worry about the site I use getting shut down.

    Doesnt streaming imply remotely accessing? Im not streaming, just watching a local copy

      That’s correct, you’re a “pirate” matey. There’s also a rising trend in using these iptv apps some else is hosting and they’re desperate to find a bad name to give them, I believe this is what the article is aimed at

    I’ve stolen all my content since the 90s, never stopped. When a service for TV and movies like Steam comes along, I’ll consider buying.

    But know what? Such a service can’t exist. Hollywood has spent too many dollars on Rube Goldberg machinations to protect their copyrights that it’s a Bulgarian clusterfuck. Welp, fine by me, not my problem.
