TheImpressiveXFive Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined
Grippler“The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services”
They used the basic tools that most pirates used today like sonarr and radar??
redistribution = service?
Why would they work for free?
Not gonna pretend like this aint illegal but i don't cry over some IP owners losing money... EVER, fuck 'em
Oh I don’t care that the IP owner don’t get money.
IDK, I just don’t like the ethics of pirating media for profit, the entire idea is that it should be accessible to everyone, not just those with money. Cover your operational cost? Sure…Making millions in subscriptions? That is an asshole move IMO. If you’re paying, you might as well pay the people who are making the media in the first place instead of some rando that had nothing to do with it.
All fair points.
I think the issue is that IP owners are mega corps, ie people who made the content don't own it and can't provide it anyway.
