It's probably contractual obligations from shitty media companies.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

quite probably. Ironically it does nothing helpful because pirates are gonna pirate.

If anything, it's does the opposite by driving would-be legitimate buyers (well... Subscribers) into piracy.

You won't provide it to me even if I pay you, because you don't like the system I use? Fine, I'll keep my money and pirate it instead.

the Dutch East India Company were the bad guys. Just saying.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

...ok?

TF does that have to do with modern media piracy?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

If the monopoly is the bad guys… the pirates are the good guys, right?

If purchasing isn't owning, then pirating can't be stealing.
