Back when I was telling everyone to watch Severance.
"Is that on Netflix?
-hum, Apple TV I think.
-you have Apple TV ?
-…sort off"
You still have Netflix?
Nah, just the shows.
I’ve been with Netflix since the very beginning but I’m finally canceling my service.
What’s a Nutflick?
I’ll tell you when you’re old enough.
not anymore since I can’t watch someone elses netflix at home. I still have disney+, that my cousin pays xd
For the mobile games
For the what?
Netflix has mobile games, is that news?
Quite a few awesome titles to boot Deaths door, TMNT, katana zero, Hades, deadcells, spiritfarer etc.
Edit : removed IAP too for the likes of Narcos, Arcanium…
Also you get Bloons TD6 with your Netflix account
Had bought that long ago but honestly there’s enough that work both on ios and android. Getting it just for games probably not worth it.
If only they add cross platform saves
I watched it at a friend’s house.
You don’t know her, she doesn’t go to this school, lives in Canada.
She lives in VPN
Jokes on you, I never had Netflix
I had cousins account and I found torrenting still much more convenient than having to open Netflix in the propper browser or app to play with semi-decent quality.
In my country, Netflix shows often come out later than in the US so why pay money when I can get a greater variety of shows earlier for free on other streaming sites?
Streaming is a gray area. Germany is relatively strict with torrents but on streaming, you neither own nor share it at any point
Germany is relatively strict with torrents
Don’t be worse than Russia. Please fix.
germany has some wild piracy law, last i heard.
Probably one of the most cringe places because of that.
?
In Russian law only sharing is illegal, not downloading. And proving your intent is impossible if you don’t have formal education. Basically “I didn’t know” is rock-solid defence.
I think it’s technically the same in Germany but indent doesn’t matter that much so it’s illegal even if you claim you didn’t know. Also owning it is also illegal I think. When you stream it, you don’t own it.
And honestly I don’t see the benefit of downloading it. Do I have to wait till the whole season is out or do I torrent each episode separately? Neither sounds fun. I can just click the episode I want to watch and watch it. Why bother to download it as a whole?
These fins are jellied, mate.
And the radarr calibrated for treasure
what does radarr to exactly? I know jellyfin is a glorified VLC, but what’s radarr?
Glorified VLC.
Look, for me to “stream” movies to my friends using VLC I have to set up a finnicky RTSP server and get the settings right and then even then half the time it chokes on the video and the stream stops because it doesn’t like certain file types/encodes.
Jellyfin takes out all the hard work of setting up a complicated streaming service for you and your friends.
Radarr is your personal fleet that will go plundered and get the booty for you while you lay in your comfy hammock drinking rum.
(You tell Radarr a movie and it will download it for you, rename it and add it to your media center automatically, also for upcoming ones. Sonarr does the same for shows, downloads the episodes once they are out.)
Jellyfin can be self-hosted with Radarr to automatically download shows you want to it and be streamed with Jellyfin.
I’ve been aware of Radarr and Sonarr and such for some time, but thanks to this meme, I get why they end with “arr” now. Thanks!
Mine all live on the subdomain “yarr”
I’m sad this isn’t actually a domain.
I can’t buy it since .de is a country domain and I don’t live there.
I mean, I probably still can buy it, but I don’t want to be rude and buy domains for a country that I don’t live in
you can just buy it. It’s not like an official piracy shop is going to pop up doing legitimate business for their GDP or something.
It’s the worst when you talk about a series you “acquired” and they ask you: “Cool! Where did you watch it? Is it on Netflix?”
“how would I know”
Because of the “bong” at the start.
“No I usually do edibles when I watch tv”
When someone asks me where they can watch a show, I always tell them “I think it’s on Pirate Bay”.
Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.
Yes, it really does come to morals.
Like, would I really feel ok supporting an industry like that? With their shitty wages, horrible copyright practices, just evil corporate practices (nepotism, extortion, sexism, etc) - not exclusive to entertaining industry, but I can def chose not to support & fuel the suffering.
I want & do pay for small studio projects, FOSS initiatives, etc.
Let’s normalise that so that such support may grow and change the world.Long live there *arr services & their contribution to worlds culture & humanity through equality/comradeship.
Yep, supporting artists and not parasitic corporations is always preferable. Unfortunately, said parasitic conglomerates try to get their greedy piggy tendrils into everything they can
Yeah, it’s really hard and often impossible to support the artists that you want.
A good movie, but most of the people involved made fixed wages (no sales) whilst 90+% of the protis goes to the studio and the lead actor and director (+ credited people that never even saw the project, but you know, money favours)?
Yeah, your money vote does not go to what you want to support/sponsor.A publisher is selling a game that it got by buying a studio & getting rid of the devs? What’s their added value? That’s just capital yields, like landlording.
I have grown up with pirating. I didn’t even know that you can pay for stuff for a while lol. Yet just the other day I bought the plushie DLC for portal revolution, caz it was an amazing experience, and it was a free passion project from the fans to the fans.
Yes, I do the anti-boycotting as much as I can too.
Also bought all the games I played growing up (the ones you can buy that is).
If it comes down to morals, don’t pirate, boycott. If your actions can be perceived as indistinguishable from selfishness, they probably are. And the only message you’re sending is “we need to crack down more on piracy” not any actual good.
No. You sound apologetic towards shareholders.
Morals are not the same as laws, lol.
And when something is part of the everyday life like this it isn’t really the best thing to stay out of.Also, boycotting something I wouldn’t have payed for doesn’t make sense. I don’t even understand what you mean.
And what you call selfishness is the boycott here. That takes away from the megacorps (and not from the artists).
I don’t wanna boycott people making series, I want way-too-big publishers & co to die.
Morals are not the same as laws, lol.
Agreed. Don’t know why you’re saying that, since I didn’t mention the law anywhere.
And what you call selfishness is the boycott here. That takes away from the megacorps
It is not. If you boycott something you aren’t benefitting. You are making a sacrifice in order to enact a change. And critically, if corporations want you behave differently, in a boycott they give in to demands. With piracy, they try to crack down on piracy.
(and not from the artists).
I’m sorry, how do the artists get paid when you pirate?
I don’t wanna boycott people making series, I want way-too-big publishers & co to die.
If that is genuinely what you want, all you have to do is not purchase the content. Pirating it does not help you kill giant publishers. All it does is make it shittier for the people funding your free entertainment.
As I said in a different comment, if this is actually a moral thing for you, for every dollar you save by not paying for the things you enjoy, donate it to a union. If you’re not, it clearly wasn’t really about the artists, it was about you getting free shit.
I’m sorry, how do the artists get paid when you pirate?
my guy, they were already paid for their time, this isn’t a small indie production.
You didn’t answer the question. Where did the money come from that paid for their time?
I have to say I mostly disagree with your points.
At that kind of profit margins only the dividends get financed.And I do spent the money on donations (FOSS devs, Wiki, random research, animal stuff), tho I haven’t though of donating to unions. I didn’t even know that is a thing. It isn’t where I live.
I understand they need to be financed, but the whole point of unions is to get a better bargaining position & thus finance. That shouldn’t need money. You dont donate to the strog guy that already has the power, you donate to the poor. Ot perhaps like some sort of semi-political parties that help organise workers? But we have regulators that strongly encourage unions at certain company size or sector.
What you can donate to or finance is smol studios. That’s boycotting the big studios, regardless of content consumption.
What are the margins, specifically? Do you do the research on every piece of media you take, or is “just kinda a feeling” that you believe enough for you to feel fine about what you do? And what is your line for at what point you’ll grace them with your money?
It’s great that you make donations, but do you make contributions in line with what you would have paid for the media to take? If so, I believe you that it’s not about the money but a moral stance. If not, I don’t believe that you aren’t doing it for your own self interest.

I’m genuinely not sure what you’re trying to say here. Are you saying that you don’t think unions need money? Are you familiar with union dues? Or strike funds? Lobbyists or lawyers?
And are you saying that the unions are the “strog guys?” If so, then why are you saying that they don’t make enough of a percent for it to justify you paying them for their work? If you want to pay to the poor or a charity, fine.
My fundamental point is, if you pirate a $20 movie/game/whatever and you don’t donate $20 to whatever cause you feel is worthwhile, and instead keep that money for yourself, you are pirating because you want things without having to pay for it. Full stop. Anything else is just trying to justify your free shit.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
sell me a bluray for a reasonable price or stop fucking encrypting them and i will buy your content :)
There’s few things that piss me off as much as self-righteous pirates. You want to say you’re doing this out of a moral stand? Boycott. Give specifics for what union terms would be good enough for you to deign to pay people for their work. Check with the actual people in the industry for if they would prefer you pay or pirate.
Or just admit you’re pirating selfishly because you can get cool stuff for free and rely on other people to fund.
yet piracy is what made the music industry be reasonable…
And netflix is what killed piracy originally…
HMM…
Source?
And more importantly, did Netflix pay the creators a greater amount for the relatively little amount of money they were charging you? Was Netflix more moral because of their treatment of employees? Is that why it allegedly killed piracy?
What’s that? No? It was just convenient and cheap? I guess it is, once again, just about you not wanting to pay money for things other people make.
You should be focusing on the hedge funds and billionaire families. Not directing your REEing energy at me.
Great response, totally makes sense and justifies everything you said.
I always just say I pirate it. What’s surprised me is the number of people who then ask where I got it from. I assumed most normies would look down on it more than has been my experience.
If you’re going to have one service, the last one to get is Netflix. Hulu and Disney are $20 ad-free in a package right now. That’s probably the best value out there.
Yeah, this is either old or out of touch.
T-Mobile offers the basic edition (with ads) for free on my plan at least. knowing Netflix though, that probably won’t last much longer. oh well, I’ll still have the high seas.
You might need a VPN if you want Hulu outside of the US.
I have access to netflix but always pirate while connected to Trakt in order to have a history of what i watched and to be able to continue watching wherever, whenever
“If I could talk to my great grandfathers, I would say that the old times are gone. So much has changed. When all else fades away, The Pirate Bay will remain. It will always be with us.” -Brule
you have netflix?
i do, wanna chill? :D
hm, enticing, i however have jellyfin and quite the substantial archive, does that suffice?
“Jellyfin and chill” sounds kinky
c/piracy was the most trending community when I joined. What happened to them now?
They’ve got no time to post because they’re busy watching all the things they want without taking on another job to pay for another dozen or so subscriptions.
.world pre-emptively blocked them (twice) because
they’re nerdsthey’re hosted in the EU and they thought they’d get in trouble by association for being federated with instances that promotes discussion of something illegal in their physical server’s jurisdiction. They had a lot of traffic. The db0 comm is still alive.Already departed and sailing the high seas, mate.
I think they were defederated from a lot of places, but are still active elsewhere. Maybe https://lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
Yeah piracy is still here
Still there. World defederated from them, so I have an alt account for visiting it.
Like there’s that many good shows
