I've heard there's a service called PirateBay that offers movies free of DRM. Maybe people considering being Sony customers in the future should give it a try.

- charcircuit 4mo agoThat's copyright infringement. They do not have the rights to distribute the movies.

- skeptic_ai 4mo agoBut you can actually purchase them at 100% discount. And you can own as long as you want. Seems a much better deal.
- haakon 4mo agoYou're right, we should strive for compliance with copyrights and distribution licenses in our personal lives.

- charcircuit 4mo agoIt is the best way to support artists and the industry.
- rustcleaner 4mo agoI'm not going to click "purchase," I'm just not going to. Sorry... not sorry! :^)
- AndroTux 4mo agoNeither does Sony (anymore), apparently. They still sold them.
- Natfan 4mo agoand redefined the terms of "sold" in their contract to mean "rent, with a one-time fee" it is more immoral to sell something you can't legally "sell" (permanently and irrevocably transfer ownership of a product), than to pirate that content (which has no level of expected payment)

- charcircuit 4mo agoSony sold them while they still had the license with a clause that they could remove them at any time.
- ninalanyon 4mo ago> with a clause that they could remove them at any time. Then they did not sell them.
- dtech 4mo agoThat's not selling, that's renting
- Buttons840 4mo agoYep. That's the argument. People don't like that though. We should change the laws so that is illegal. We can just make laws we want--we're allowed to do that.
- infinite_spin 4mo agothey don't host or distribute movies, they distribute torrents/magnets.. the speakeasy might be illegal, but telling people where to find one is not.
- bcjdjsndon 4mo agoLet me just say, I fuckin love piracy, but it's more like a speakeasy that piped booze in from everyone's house into the bar instead of just keeping the bottles above the bar. Booze all the same though
- infinite_spin 4mo agoI dislike the term "pirate" when used to describe unauthorized reproductions of a work. I prefer neutral terms like "archivist". Calling someone a pirate reduces the conversation to pejorative labeling, i.e. a dysphemism. When we turn a blind eye to that, or worse we embrace it, we lose the opportunity to have a balanced/adult discussion about what is and should be legal.
- bcjdjsndon 4mo agoWhy do you think we all go there
- someonebaggy 4mo agoThe Pirate Bay is considered one of the worst pirate sites now. Of course, if you can find what you want, then you can, but any piracy community will recommend against it due to nonexistent moderation (eg. against viruses), poor navigation, and lack of uploads due to them not issuing new uploader accounts for several years now.
- not_a_bot_4sho 4mo ago> The Pirate Bay is considered one of the worst pirate sites now I'm curious. What are the best sites nowadays? Still torrents, right? I used to be in the know but switched to legit things a while back so I wouldn't have to explain how dad is getting Bluey episodes.

- someonebaggy 4mo agoThe Pirate Bay is also like that. Get uBlock Origin.

- majesticmerc 4mo agoUblock Origin (at least on Firefox, RIP Chromium users) makes all these problems go away instantly.
