  • We've lost some big ones this year alone, hadn't we? I recall the early half of the year, that we lost some huge names or names that just shut down. Uloz flipped, still around but not what it once was. There was a lot of big names just gone all in this year alone.

    But I see all of this as multi-pronged.

    Aside from what everyone else has said. I will add that there could be people slipping into pirate ranks as a shill for these corps, gathering all that they can, slipping out to report.

    There also could be loud-mouthed pirates, ruining it for everyone because they're loud-mouths, gotta spread the shit all the way around. That gets the attention of the corps that just hover over and count the days at that point.

  • Yeah I mean, that will be really pulling the veil away from people's eyes right?

    So say that piracy is exterminated in a theoretical scenario, subscription prices now cost $20 - $25 per service just for standard. Tickets cost $19 per person. Rentals will cost $7. Copies still sold in retail stores and online hover $20 ~ $30.

    Now, piracy is gone, we have all of these increased expenses. Who do they honestly expect are going to still want to be paying that much?

    People will see all along that this is just simply an optional luxury to have, they can't have it, they stop paying and take their money somewhere else.

    And does anyone think the executives and MAFIAA will finally admit that they've been in the wrong all this time?

    No, they'll just suck eachother's dicks while proclaiming that piracy still needed to go away.

  • Probably not even getting paid nearly as much except given a pizza under the door and a pat on the shoulder as some shitbag exec says sweet nothings into their ear. "Good job son, you're doing the work for freedom, freedom from piracy"

  • Fuck...

    I was planning to finish a series on AnimeSuge and AnimeSuge is now gone. I'm not going to fucking subscribe to Crunchyroll because, they don't have anime classics like Tenchi Universe or Tenchi in Tokyo. AnimeSuge did. They had everything Tenchi in one place whereas you have to subscribe to both Funimation and Cruncyroll to even get a third of the series available.

    And watching the original 1997 Berserk series straight through was on AnimeSuge. None of the legal options fucking have it and everyone is selling the series on EBay and Amazon for triple the price.

    This is fucking bullshit!

  • This makes about as much sense as when Facebook tried prioritizing Oculus to be a way to browse the internet.

    ...There's just no point in it.

    But whatever I guess, some ideas have to be realized first before it reaches "well that was a dumb fuck of an idea" phase.

  • These people, referring to the idiot author, are the same people who fantasized and watered down how the Civil War went for the Confederacy. We unfortunately now have and will continue to have, the same idiots having their revised takes on what happened on January 6th.

  • There's nothing wrong either with pumping the brakes of a subscription, which I'm seeing and hearing people do now including myself. I just need a good reason to subscribe to say like, Netflix, to get me to watch what I want to watch or catch up on then decide to unsubscribe.

    I sincerely hope they don't penalize people in the future for doing this, but I expect at somepoint that they will so mind as well enjoy that while we're able.
