Some people's time is important. Teenagers with lots of time and little money can futz around with being a pirate.

- mindslight 12y agoVideo entertainment is inherently time-wasting, so for the majority of content that argument doesn't have legs. For someone technical, there's little "futzing" - one time setup, and ongoing maintenance will take less time than when "cable company 2.0" is (down, showing advertisement, changing selection). I do agree that piracy UI needs to be a lot better so that anybody can setup something that just works with a minimum of effort. But none of these pragmatic considerations invalidate my original point, which is that those who give money to the old style media companies are directly funding this corruption.
- dublinben 12y agoProjects like PopcornTime are just as easy to use, if not easier to use than Netflix/Amazon. It doesn't require a credit card, and has no region/platform restrictions.
- sroerick 12y agoOut of curiosity, do you know what it would take to make a PopcornTime for ONLY Creative Commons and Public Domain material? Just a CC/PD tracker?
