A show I had one episode left of went off Netflix on 1/1. I tried to find it EVERYWHERE, I even downloaded iTunes on my PC. “Not available in your region” left right and center. I luckily found a torrent and it was legitimately the only way I could find the content beyond buying DVDs on eBay.
- ce4 5y agoPerfectly fits this 10 years old comic classic from Matthew Inman: https://www.theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones https://www.theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones
- PHGamer 5y agothat comic is 10 years old? damn im getting old. lol. i remember that one. hilarious then , hilarious now.
- ce4 5y agoI wasnt sure either until I looked it up. There's a funny ad on the torrent site in the comic about winning an iPad 3, which was sold in 2012 :-)
- drusepth 5y agoI was living in Ireland for a little while and wanted to watch Game of Thrones. At the time, piracy was literally the only possible way to watch it; there was no legal avenue whatsoever (including purchasing cable from HBO, etc) that included it. I still haven't seen Game of Thrones.
- thehappypm 5y agoThat’s crazy. Would a VPN work? I think it would have for me, since my show was available in the UK, but I was not really into buying and setting up a VPN when my wife wanted me to just find the damn show.
- ce4 5y agoVPNs and cloud services' IP ranges are mostly blocked nowadays (by AS number and so on). You can setup your own wireguard vpn running e.g. on a Raspberry Pi on someones cable Internet, of course.
- sct202 5y agoThere's probably money in helping these companies realize when they have left large portions of their content unlicensed in entire geographic regions.
- yuchi 5y agoIt is. They call them VPNs and apparently they tell us it’s for “privacy”.
