I tend to feel the same. Something like I understand their legal hurdles licensing things across different country laws and such but in reality that is not my damn problem. Silly things like why can't I watch HBO max in Germany?
- capableweb 4y agoEven sillier, why are there subtitles for languages available in some countries, but not in others, even on the same service? If I'm in Brazil watching a Netflix show (even some Netflix originals), I don't see the same amount of subtitle options if I was in India. Absolutely bonkers.
- norman784 4y agoAFAIK this happens when the subtitles are not made by the same company, for example old Disney movies are translated in each region, but not by Disney itself, so they don't own the subtitles. For Netflix originals I have no explanation, I though they do it all themselves.
- usrusr 4y agoChances are the cut you get in India isn't the same as the one you get in Brazil. Wouldn't be surprised if the subtitle translation were made on region cut level, and not on source level so that they could be simply passed on with whatever subset of the audio track viewers get to see (hear)
- account42 4y ago> Chances are the cut you get in India isn't the same as the one you get in Brazil Which is in itself already yet another reason why pirates get the better service.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoAre pirates so accomplished they're offering more transitions than commerical services?! Are we talking widely available bootlegs or some private channels?
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoI was under the impression that community made subtitles are in some cases far superior to the commercial options. So... Yes, actually.
- chii 4y ago> legal hurdles licensing things across different country laws and such but in reality that is not my damn problem. and in essence, a made up problem. The owners of those licenses simply wants to increase profits by price segmentation - that's why media is restricted in some countries from being viewed from other countries etc. So i have absolutely zero qualms about piracy when such practices exists.
- ainiriand 4y agoYeah well, I forgot to connect the vpn to download a movie, a single mistake that costed me almost 1k euro here in Germany, not sure how to proceed.
- rasz 4y agoDeny everything, own open/hacked wifi accesspoint, use streaming sites instead of torrent.
- 5e92cb50239222b 4y agoYou could use a seedbox next time, and only fetch content to your machine through SSH.
- ainiriand 4y agoI would not put the hand in the fire that my ISP is not analyzing the traffic to detect movie downloads.
- thirdsun 4y agoIn case of HBO Max it's probably because they licensed most of their content to Sky. I'm sure once that agreement runs out we will see HBO Max in Germany. And Sky will be even more worthless to non-sport audiences.
