fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!

Generally I agree. But I'd be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.

The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.

Dude, for that sum you could pay people pirating and servicing it for you 😁

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

That's what I do

Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)

Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.

I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it'll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.

Let's go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.

Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.
