Imagine piracy was really capable of bankrupting these companies [that profit from manipulating children]. Wouldn't you torrent all day and all night?

- sien 11y agoWho would then make the content?
- kuschku 11y agoWell, those companies whose business model isn’t "let’s throw as much ads at children as possible so they annoy their parents and those then buy all our products"
- grogenaut 11y agoThey do offer an alternative. You can pay to watch each show. You're just choosing to ignore it or think it's too expensive to justify stealing it.
- kuschku 11y agoThere is no way to pay for each show. Even they pay-to-watch channels are full of ads, actually, the paid channels have more ads than all other channels. Which is why I stopped watching TV completely, I watch news and documentaries from public channels online, but that’s it.
- tootie 11y agoYou can buy ad-free content from Amazon, iTunes or Play Store. Or, you know, DVDs.
- kuschku 11y agoWell, the only content I can buy on Amazon, iTunes or the Play Store is dubbed and in 720p quality. That’s shit. If I want to get 1080p quality, undubbed, I have to either pirate, or order a DVD from Amazon.co.uk, which leads to obscene delivery costs. (Amazon.com doesn’t even deliver overseas).
- drewmeyers24 11y agoNo one. Things would be so simple, if everyone was just willing to pay for what they watch.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoSmaller creators who are worth paying.
