>A new survey confirms that the high cost of online streaming services keeps piracy relevant. The findings suggest that one in three Americans have pirated a movie or TV series over the past year. Costs are a key motivator for these self-proclaimed pirates, with the number of legal subscription services and their price tags a key trigger. https://torrentfreak.com/expensive-streaming-services-are-a-key-reason-for-americans-to-pirate-240424/Why do you pirate, /tv/?I did it when I was 14 so I just never stopped.
>>198578953why wouldn't I pirate because these companies offer sub-par product today and the quality back catalog stuff they have is nowhere to be found and in some cases has actually been censored
None of the classic kinos are even available on any streaming service so I'm forced to
>>198578953>4000 different streaming services, all of which are pure AIDSno idea
For me it’s how all the free streaming sites are a million times better designed, responsive, and functional than all the paid services.
>get netflix>it's default 540p or some shit unless you get an extension to FORCE it to play in proper HDyeah wow great service
>>198578953The fat man is right
>>198578953It was the only way I could have a digital collection.
>>198578953Same. I’ve been pirating since before Napster.
>>198580235no he's not. the prices keep going up for the same shit.
>>198580265What?
>>198578953It's not an expense problem, it's a far left propaganda problem.
>>198580319most pirates I see are not right wingeven though i am
>>198579699
>>198580728all me
>>198578953i don't even bother pirating the garbage they make now, if they want me to see their shit they'll need to pay me and it wouldn't be cheap
>>198578953>Why do you pirate, /tv/?Yes
>>198578953I don't like Jews
>1 in 3Sounds like massive bullshit or some kind of subjective interpretation of the data.
>>198578953People calling streaming expensive are the same people who have more than two subscription at a time.
>>198581398>if they want me to see their shit they'll need to pay meneet logic
>>198581444wait until netflix costs you 30 bucks
>>198581444it is expensive if the entire service doesn't have any of the shows you're interested in watching
>>198582655then it will always be fucked
>>1985814401 in 3 are willing to admit they pirate media. It's obviously much more.
>>198581444Every competitor should just die and you buy the one shows you want off YouTube for like $5. Depending on how much you watch/rewatch could be cheaper in the long run.
>>198578953And then retards wonder why quality of films being produced today has dipped. You're like leeches, you want top quality product, but for free. Literal communists. How's quality going to get made if you steal the money that it needs?
>>198584257Piracy had nothing to do with the quality of media
>>198584257I want the industry to die, there is enought good film for a life time, same goes for videogames
>>198584257>$200m to make a movie>It's complete shit>"B-but if we only had $250m it would have been good"
>>198580548>most pirates I see are not right wing>There he is, 184.155.90.126... Probably going to order more grubhub and then an evening of watching John Oliver.
