Your friendly neighbourhood torrent merchant, I guess

• School-Cotton 4y ago
  For me that’s a last resort. As someone whose career involves producing intellectual property (like most programmers) I prefer to pay for it whenever possible. I’ll torrent things if they aren’t available any other way, but I hope that isn’t the case.

    I know that exact feeling. While I'd also pay what producers deserve, in some cases it's not possible. You could pirate the content, and buy something (e.g. Merch or something similar where the funds go roughly to the same place as if you've obtained a legal copy of the actual content) other than the actual media from them. If buying a 4K Blu-Ray copy of a movie is 20 dollars, but I'd prefer an MP4 on my computer (and don't have a disc player anyway): I can simply pirate a BRRip torrent, but get for example a T-shirt of a similar price, or perhaps even directly donate money to them if possible. I believe its fair play.

    Me too. I subscribe to Netflix, HBO and Amazon though. There are shows companies will not offer in my locale at any price. I could either take a stand and hope that whoever is in charge picks up the signal somehow then wait … or I could just download a few episodes and move on.

  The problem there is once big releases start going digital only, the torrent sites will only be able to provide you webrips with the same quality limits as the streaming sources.

    Unless there are theater or even production company leaks.
