None of the streaming services allow you to watch purchased content at HD quality with Linux, and DRM is evil, so I don't use them. I don't really watch TV so it's not the end of the world for me, but they shouldn't be surprised at all that there's rampant piracy when you take the most high-skilled tech people and force them to pirate content to be able to watch it at all. It's ironic to me that we caved and let them put dangerous EME DRM crap (looking directly at you, W3C) in browsers and they still just locked out Linux users anyways. They've learned absolutely nothing from the DeCSS days, and the results are predictable: https://torrentfreak.com/google-takes-down-repositories-that-circumvent-its-widevine-drm-201113/ https://torrentfreak.com/google-takes-down-repositories-that... RE the morality of it, as of right now, piracy is just a political act of resistance against this broken system to me. It's not about the cost, it's about not enabling this bad behavior to continue. I keep repeating the same thing over and over: as long as your eyeballs are made of flesh, the DRM protections will never stop piracy. Their only logical objective is violence: to throw my heroes in cages for doing things like legitimate security research, porting software to linux, etc.. and I don't want to support that (but again, I don't really watch TV so it's not much of a conundrum for me, but my condolences if "Is It Cake?" is something someone can't live without).
