Good luck locating my hard drive with several Terabytes of movies, TV shows and music.

If other sites would shut down I would share those files even if I need to send pigeons with usb sticks attached to their little feet.

Human culture is to be shared. And that is just a basic moral principle that should be engraved on Human Rights declaration.

But you'll hurt the film industry. Their last movie only made 100 million, but they expected 200 million 😿

And they had to work so hard to cook the books to make it look like it lost money on it so they didn't have to pay out their cast and crew, too. Won't anyone think of the poor executives!?!?

Hell yeah. Also, support your local library! I know your local library doesn't have a free for all streaming service, but they lend books and all kinds of media... Just imagine if we could push it to where your local library DID have a Plex/Jellyfin/Netflix-esque service? Just log in with your library card! That's the dream...
