There is a rule in piracy that you shouldn’t sell access to pirated content. It should be free as in freedom. Selling content is more damaging to the rights holders than mere torrents IMHO. I mean offering it for free is still damaging, but profiteering rackets are usually frowned upon in the piracy community
- jakear 4y agoI think you mean free as in beer.
- night-rider 4y agoThat would imply gratis works available not ‘free beer’
- crtasm 4y agoMany cyberlockers/filehosts exist specifically to profit from copyrighted content too. Making their download speed/limits extremely low, pushing a premium subscription, paying uploaders affiliate fees and/or adding content themselves + running a download links site on another domain.
- night-rider 4y agoYeah but it’s not as bad as saying ‘watch this match for $5.00’. In order for cyberlockers to make a profit they have to have a massive catalog of content and done at huge scale. Lockers are more ethical IMHO. (Still damaging to rights holders though)
