And it’s never anything in demand either. It’s always some random movie you came across on Wikipedia when you were scrolling through some actor’s filmography, and a minor interest was sparked. These companies create no value and hoard wealth and power. The whole copyright regime is tyrannical.
99% of these problems would be solved if copyright lasted a reasonable amount of time. IMO copyright should last for 50 years from the date of publication or the life of the original creator, whichever is longer. That way the author has control over their work during their own lifetime, and like an author's husband won't just be screwed if his wife published a blockbuster book and then dies soon after, but we don't have Disney milking shit from the 1920s for a hundred years. It's absurd to me that I have to pay Amazon $4 to watch Citizen Kane, a movie that came out before my grandparents were born, and that's the only legal way to watch it. Literally nobody who was involved in making that movie is still alive to benefit from it, it's only people making money from doing literally nothing.
That's only if it's an older movie. The latest Captain America is available to rent for $25, or to buy for $30.
Or you can do what I did, and sail the high seas for it.
Yarrtt.
Or I can keep it for 0.
.arr me matey
Capitalism never learns. I was off of pirating for over a decade because things were actually somewhat affordable and you didn't have to jump through hoops to access everything. I'm right back in it, pirating everything, fuck these business school graduate scumbags.
I pay for a VPN once a year and then everything is free. Ahoy mateys!
