I mean yeah it’s selfish, but it is definitely righting a huge injustice:

There is literally no customer centric way to watch these shows, or most modern media at all. Where can I literally buy shows that I can then resell. Where can I get a subscription service that’s focused on giving me the best content possible and not trying to squeeze value out of me by influencing what I watch or selling my metrics or up selling me to a bigger plan after killing the previous plan or any number of other dark practices. Where can I buy DRM free offline files of these shows so I can watch them on an airplane on my own hardware without Internet?

It’s fucked up that there is literally no way for people to buy their entertainment and not be fucked over more for trying to do it the legal way and spending money. And piracy needs to exist as a breaking point to stop these companies from getting even worse.

This looks like a bad 15 minute Photoshop job. Why does she think it was AI? Where is the proof AI was used?

Or is this just more news cycle bullshit trying to throw in the latest controversial keywords 🤔

Did the writer give me permission to read their book, which I used to learn to write better and sell those works?

Did Michelangelo give every art student that learned from his works permission to learn from his work and then produce works in a similar style on their own to sell for profit?

It’s not about when the app last updated, it’s if they updated the code to use the modern interface.

They didn’t.

For the commenter I replied to? Yeah, their premise made no sense: people won’t do things they don’t want to and have no incentive to do.

This means the app devs refused to make their app work with modern phones for YEARS. no real excuse there.

As somebody who also is on the fuckcars train, how the fuck did you manage to get on that topic in a response to my comment lol

Not every country wants all immigration though.

I never said anything about it being wrong or that anybody was getting hurt.

I just said under current definitions it is illegal. Legality != morality.

I totally agree.

That’s not related to the original post though.

Especially when the statement makes no sense

No, that would harm whoever was in possession of the room at the time (owner or guest).

This would be more akin to sneaking into a movie theatre to stand in the back and watch.

But that would still be theft of service.

While I appreciate the sentiment, theft of service is a crime. You don’t have to be able to own something to be able to steal it.
