Piracy forced the creation of the streaming economy because their only choice was to make it easier to stream than pirate. Now every streaming service is racing to the bottom based on the belief they have captured the audience forever. The only ethical solution, therefore, is to start pirating again.

not only has streaming gotten worse, piracy has gotten better.

i did some research recently and found that there’s a whole suite of “collection manager” tools that make the whole process obscenely easy (assuming some level of technical skill to get through the initial setup), from automatically downloading content at a preferred quality to getting it correctly tagged and sorted for Plex or Jellyfin or whatever media player thing to display it

you can even get an app to manage it all from your phone

not that i’m doing any of this obviously. just thought it was interesting and wanted to share. for educational purposes only 😉

way ahead of them, been pirating everything that's on streaming services from the very beginning. as a matter of fact, I've always been of the belief that the only thing the streaming model did was make piracy a million times easier
