> I've built a "whole piracy stack on my NAS" - Sonarr, Radarr, Deluge, NZBGet, Plex, Pushbullet, with paid services for omgwtfnzbs, usenet and oznzb (I bought plex lifetime) - oh and a homerun-HD plugged into a new aerial I just had fitted to my house (pirates don't seem to care about my local UK TV).
99.999% of the people would rather just overpay for cable than deal with that, so it's a far cry from a killer.
- driverdan 7y agoYou underestimate the number of people who pirate media. Usenet isn't the only way.
- fred_is_fred 7y agoLots of people pirate media, but I stand by my percentage. Even in the tech world I literally don't know a single person who wants to deal with that complicated stack. My time is worth $90/month to not have to.
- goldcd 7y agoI realize I missed the explanation (piracy stack over the legit options I have). I log and just say "I want to watch this". Similar to how you'd have previously used a Tivo that sat over all your potential TV channels. I turn on my PC in the morning and get some push-bullet notifications of new episodes, I load up Plex on my TV and see them all sat there in a single "Here's what's new" place. I guess it's similar to what Android/Apple TV are trying to do - but it's better.
- fred_is_fred 7y agoYou have to account for some cost of your own time. And none of that is something that my wife and kids would want to deal with, especially if I am not home. I am willing to pay Hulu and Netflix for the convenience and so are most people which is how they stay in business. If everyone did what you did, I suspect there'd be an actual crack down on it.
