I don’t want to download movies. I want to watch Star Trek. You can’t do that on Netflix anymore. So paramount plus (aka “janky Netflix”) gets my $10/mo extortion fee.
If it wasn’t infeasible to download all of TNG, voy, and ds9 to my iPad, I would in a heartbeat.
- p1esk 5y agoI mean, if your options were downloading a pirated movies from a shady website, or streaming a pirated movie from a shady website, why would choose the first one?
- pedrogpimenta 5y agoTorrent download sites are everything but shady, if you know how and where to look.
- p1esk 5y agoMaybe, but usually when I want to watch a movie I want to watch it right now, not in a few hours.
- withinboredom 5y agoThere are clients to stream torrents.
- felixg3 5y agoIf you’re on a private BitTorrent tracker, the video quality and encoding is often significantly better (bitrates often double). The download speeds saturate your internet connection. Piracy is often the best, fastest and most ethical option (no DRM).
- marssaxman 5y agoOnce I have a local copy, I don't have to depend on the continued availability of the shady website. I can pass the copy along to friends who might also enjoy it, and I can watch the movie whether or not I happen to have high-speed internet access at the moment.
