You are probably right, it’s just funny that there’s a public list saying „don’t go there“ which kinda acts like a „forbidden books“ list making it more interesting.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoFor broke kids with more free time than money, yeah learning to access forbidden pirate sites is cool and interesting, but since Austria is a relatively high income country, most people I know here don't bother with piracy at all and just pay for content anyway. So blocks like these will definitely discourage more Average Joes from low hanging fruit piracy and keep them as law-abiding paying customers rather than turning them into "hackers".
- dewey 4y agoIt was a joke, don't take it so seriously... But as an Austrian myself, piracy was alive and well when I was in the age group where that usually happens and many "regular" people used free streaming sites when kino.to and others were still popular.
- manmal 4y agoWeird, I‘m from AT as well and I know people from every income bracket who pirate content. Except for elderly people, currently.
- 7steps2much 4y agoAustrian checking in, the problem with the "high income" logic is that most stuff offered over here is just pretty crappy. The libraries of streaming services are tiny compared to international offerings and some don't even offer anything in Austria at all because it's a small market. Pirating is still alive and well, not necessarily because people can't/don't want to afford the alternatives, but because they just aren't as convenient.
