Recently wanted to rewatch Continuum.
Amazon Prime in Germany has S2-4 as stream, sells S1-4. But everything only in German, and no subs.
Apple sells something? Maybe only S1? I don’t understand how I can see it without an iTunes account or maybe iTunes installed? Good job having a worse UX than either Google or Amazon, though, that takes work.
Google has only S1, and again only in German.
Sure is convenient to be able to get what I want at all, because apparently no one else sells or rents it. Sure, I could buy the DVDs (probably for a fraction of the price of buying it at Amazon), go through the hassle of ripping everything, fix the subtitles etc. like I did for ReGenesis, but that’s hours of work, so yeah, you bet I go with the convenient version, and I find it perfectly ethically justifiable.
- glanzwulf 3y agoSame boat here, also Germany. Wanted to watch the Bourdain show "No Reservations" and it's practically impossible. There are only 3 ways: 1. Import the DVDs from the US, but pay a high cost for the DVDs, the high cost of shipping, the taxes and customs and eventually, once it arrives, watch it. 2. Be a criminal, get a VPN, fake address and data, prepaid US credit card and subscribe to discovery in the US and watch it. 3. Be a criminal and pirate it easily. Is piracy really the problem?
