If the US government made the MPAA/RIAA in charge of law enforcement and had them tackle international drug cartels, illegal arms trade, cybercrime and human trafficking with the same amount of manpower and resources as they do pirated movies and music, we'd be living in a crime free paradise in a matter of months.
- azinman2 2y agoTotally; they’ve been great at getting rid of piracy. We’re totally piracy free now! /s
- pixxel 2y agoI get the sentiment, but piracy is rampant. Pulling weeds.
- PaulHoule 2y agoA search for "deadpool wolverine" turned up a lot of results on the first torrent search I tried, one has 645 seeds and 159 leeches. I am not going to try it, but think it's quite likely that this torrent is exactly what it claims to be, I dunno if it is an awful cam rip from a theater, a screener that got leaked, or from some other source, but I know the movie industry is particularly inflamed about piracy of movies that are still in the theatrical window.
- paxys 2y agoThe goal isn't to eliminate piracy (which is obviously impossible) but to remove services that make piracy easy. They know that the average consumer is never going to download Torrents or even look beyond the first page on Google. So such sites are only targeted once they start to get mainstream.
