Then why do we need The Pirate Bay?

• beambot 15y ago
  Distribution, feature set, and lack of DRM? We recently gave up casual TV and movies cold-turkey. Frankly, the studios and networks just couldn't figure out how to target us properly. I'm not going to pay $120 / mo. to get my favorite channels (eg. Science and NatGeo) just because ESPN has Comcast by the balls. Similar arguments for movies. FWIW, I don't use TPB either. But I can imagine the appeal of choice, freedom, and having archival copies of the bits locally.

    So people are not satisfied with reddit and youtube and want commercial entertainment?

      Wait, are those two mutually exclusive? Certainly not for me...
