All of these media companies splitting everything up and making it nearly impossible to figure out which service is hosting what shows is what did this. They got greedy and raised their prices.

So naturally people are going to be inclined to figure out how to safely pirate things and then they're going to do it.

You should never pirate things, that would be immoral to use mullvad and qbittorrent to pirate things!

Movies (7) and (9) anime are very expensive to make! You're stealing from corporate executives when you pirate!
