That’s why sports channels are much more expensive than everything else. It’s harder to pirate live sports events. FKN corpos made it impossible for my parents to watch Wimbledon.

Exactly! This is the real reason I started paying, it was convenient. But I’ll pay only so much for convience, isn’t it? Right now I’ve a TV with an Android stick, but I’ve already started finding ways to use pirated stuff there. And if I’ve to pirate too much… I’ll built a fucking small underpowered “pc” that’s just good for torrenting lol.

And this comes at a time when it’s easier than ever to pirate. It’s like they’re actively trying to shoot themselves in the foot.

Small dedicated pc with no gpu, headless linux variant, whatever torrent client, Sonarr linked to Jackett pulling in shows from whatever private tracker you can get on, Unpackerr to automatically unpack rar’s and the like, all sent to Plex and you effectively have an automated system to replace every single streaming service… Sure, the initial setup is beyond most people, but it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing people sell preconfigured systems or images.

Finally got kicked off a Netflix account yesterday actually.

You guys know you can stream torrents, right? It’s been solo much more convenient to be a pirate than use Netflix for years.
