Piracy is a better alternative. Far less hassle and better quality.
There is some very nice software out there so you can basically have your own private Netflix. Risk is minimal when setup correctly.
People say piracy is stealing. It isn't. It's the natural order of things. People support things with money that they want to see. People see plays, concerts, and movies in theaters all the time. Not letting people share a recording is ridiculous, as is the concept of eternal royalties.
Look at how much art we have that takes from prior art to turn it into something new. Piracy helps that goal. We wouldn't have people like Eminem if he hadn't pirated tapes. Piracy hurts no one, and studies show pirates spend the most on content.
A decade or so from now, no one will be talking about piracy because it will simply be the natural way of sharing, at least in free countries.
- Only_Spam 4y agoAgreed. An argument is that themovie producers won't continue producing movies. Which is false because more money is made in royalties, merchandise, and advertisements on streaming. Piracy is stealing something measurable, property. If something is not unique or measurable, then what would the value be? So legally, I wouldn't consider it piracy by definition.
