Hah. If properly paying for films requires you to install quasi-rootkits that spy 24/7 on your personal life, and pirating gives you a high-quality .mkv you can play anywhere you want, I damn fucking well know which one I'll choose. "Brave but big sacrifice"? That's just devaluing those words.
- mekster 7y agoYou forgot to add that your choice is damaging the innocent content creators.
- CamperBob2 7y agoMaybe those innocent content creators will think twice at contract renewal time, then.
- t-writescode 7y agoOr just ... buy the DVD / other content type legally available?
- CuriousSkeptic 7y agoAnd then you still need to “root” the DVD-player so you get to skip the commercials and legal threats...
- andrepd 7y agoWhich is what I did for a long time, but now I don't even own a disc player...
- Talanes 7y agoThe piracy is really incidental. No one who chose privacy over Netflix would suddenly reverse that choice if they couldn't pirate content. Especially given that we are talking about phones, does anyone find watching Netflix on their phone actually ideal?
