If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

Safeguard, I used to have Netflix, HBO Max, Youtube Premium, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime and “Videoland”. But since I used Linux, I could not stream with a higher bitrate. I could not download for offline playback, I had to jump through hoops to get things to play every now and then.
They also did not always have everything I wanted to see, or I had to pay extra for “premium early access” (Disney).
So I was fed up, learned about using multiple usenet backbones, how to send sabnzbd through VPN’s, Radarr, Sonarr and Overseerr. Now I only have Netflix and Youtube Premium for my wife. And Plex for myself. And access to much more content.
And I do not consider it stealing, i consider it to be the natural result of them trying to gouge me while still not providing me.
QuarterlySushi, I’m in the exact situation you are. The *arr suite is a game changer.
AnarchistsForDemocracy, Well played!
southsamurai, Look at the shit sony is apparently intending to do. Total bullshit.
buckykat, Piracy is not stealing, but both piracy and stealing from corpos are good to do
Sterben, It makes perfect sense, and I agree 100% with this statement. 👍
