Or libgen.

The problem isn’t pirates, it’s films and series being available in one country and unavailable in another. It’s greedy af streaming services that keep raising the prices, having a small percentage of overall films and series available and expecting people to get a handful(!) of those, 15€ or more per service(!) just to have some sort of half decent coverage. On top of all that, they keep raising prices while introducing ads for their paid tier(!), they further raid their library of media just so that the consumer is left with mostly crap and maybe a vanishing number of quality films and series.

I don’t know why today, but I’m furious. When having a headache because of a tumor, then the headache isn’t the problem and aspirin isn’t the cure. The problem is the tumor and it needs to be treated chemically, surgically or via radiation.

Piracy is not the problem. It’s the symptom that has been pointing to the actual problem: capitalist greed.

For the longest time I’ve paid for streaming services, still do. But after sitting for over half an hour trying to figure out whether I should watch crappy series 1, 2, 3, 4 or maybe 5, … I refuse to finance some capitalist’s yacht with that. It’s literally degraded to me handing over money, full stop. It’s a one-directional transaction which does not happen in my favour.

I’m angry, hence the vent. I couldn’t care less about some arse not getting my money. I hope they choke on their caviar. My breaking point is reached. Long live piracy.

I’m not talking about people who didn’t rape but were accused of it. I’m talking about actual rapists. Funny how quick people are to defend rapists.

Absolutely terrible and disgusting. All rapists should get a life sentence, full stop. The damage they do sticks with the victims for their whole lives, it robs them of a normal life.

Thank you for your elaborate reply!

So how do you know that luxchat is a full stop for-profit company? That’s the part I meant, I just saw that my comment appeared after you edited your comment.

I mean, is Microsoft truly going to stop at DRM labelled content? Now they claim they will, but I don’t trust they will in the future.

Very valid points.

Can you please provide the passage you are referring to from the link? I can’t find it, even with the use of deepl. Thanks.

1. It’s 1 million signatures with at least 7 countries passing the threshold (that’s important because it won’t be considered successful otherwise, even with a million signatures).

2. Open source is a must have, so that it can be reviewed independently and so we as citizens can be sure nothing shady happens - at least without our knowledge… european is not enough for me. I do not wish to replace non-european arseholery with european arseholery.

For anyone with LogoiX, you can send it to them and they forward it to your address (pls check LogoiX which countries are included). Alles Post for Austria has that service too, so check your countries’ post offices if they offer that service.

France showed tf up. Thank you France. Their signatures make up about 50% of the total number of signatures (>600k came from France and in total it’s approx 1.2M signatures).

Thanks also to all the countries with at least 100%, because more than 6 countries were needed.

Thanks for every single one that signed - no matter the statistics. Every signature counts.

Thanks for commenting, 6 drives is definitely a good sign!

Thanks for the resources and info, good to know :)

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for your comment, fair point!

Yea ok, that says it all :D
