Yeah sorry the point of piracy is to be a cheapskate. If I'm gonna spend money might as well buy the damn thing.
Its absolutely not the point XD
Lol piracy isn't a fucking political movement. It's a "I want free shit" thing and that's OK! we don't need to justify shit to some stupid moral standards.
Netflix, Disney and Amazon limit the bitrate and resolution on Linux. Amazon is often at 540p or so.
That's because of DRM, which they use to prevent piracy. Guess what, they lost a paying customer because of their terrible service.
Indeed, many pirates only want free things, but there're many other valid reasons to pirate. E.g. I'm paying for energy, storage, a usenet provider and indexers. Though I agree I'm going the cheaper piracy route instead of buying Blurays and ripping them myself.
