Like, once you sub a streaming service, doesn't that sort of free you from large portions of your moral obligation to compensate the creators?
For that you need a moral obligation to do so in the first place. If a show/product/etc. is good then im gonna give them money but if i don't like it they won't see a cent from me
EntropywinsI pirate lots of content games, movies etc if I feel it's high quality or if I just thoroughly enjoy it I pay for it, if it's garbage I stop watching or playing... with how much crap is put out I feel it's a fare deal
this is the only way that you can enjoy stuff without going bankrupt nowadays
Streaming services keep forgetting that their success is based on being slightly more convenient than good ol' piracy.

samus12345I feel like the meaning of the word "own" keeps getting watered down.
Set up your own media server with all the *arr applications (google these, they are amazing), then you will really be sailing the high seas with no need for streaming services.
