I know daddy Gabe said it is a service issue which is a fair point
But I am beyond that point. Hollywood and music industry are full of pedophiles. They regime whore for the owner class and shill propaganda to plebs to accept their deteriorating conditions.
These people are the enemy and this is the class war.
Don't be a dummy, don't fund your oppressor.
At least when it comes to the Movie industry, piracy is pretty much a moral obligation.
Ditto for the Music Industry.
Ditto for the Science Publishing Industry.
It's only not the same for the Games Industry because so much of it are Indies.
