Thanks for recognizing this. It’s the cops, it’s the DAs, its the Prosecutors that work for the city/state/nation (RIP Aaron Swartz, a victim of one of those), it’s the judges who take all cops word as unfettered truth and do nothing but view regular citizens with unbridled skepticism and contempt, its the mayors/governors who are scared of the cops and keep capitulating to them because the cops just won’t do anything except draw a paycheck if they don’t like what you’re doing politically. The feeble milquetoast broken losers that bend over and take it from the cops because they’re scared of the cops abusing them or the fucking MAGAs abusing them are the enablers. We’re seeing the pinnacle of it right now, endlessly using kid gloves on Donald “Literal Treasonous Spy” Trump because “oh but he might appeal” and “oh but his followers might do nasty things to us, so we don’t want to upset them.” What a bunch of loser ass fucking pussies. So worried about their own skins that they’re going to let us fall into fascism under the waffling of “But it’s not our fault the Republicans and the Cops and Judges hate citizens and think they’re all criminal scum, we have to follow these crazy, unhinged laws that they wrote after literally rigging elections to benefit themselves. There’s literally nothing we can do!” They’re enablers because anybody who gave a single damn would know there’s plenty they could fucking do, and yes it means calling Republicans on their bullshit chicanery and fucking doing something about it.
It’s not just Netflix, it’s every licensing issue in every country.
I love lots of foreign television, but quite a lot of it isn’t immediately available (or ever available) in my country.
If I want to watch those shows or movies, I am literally at the mercy of the piracy community helping me access them, because there’s a good chance that it’s either months or years away from release in my country, or that I’ll be unlucky and it will never release here at all.
It’s a completely broken system, and Gabe Newell called it what it was over a decade ago. Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.
It won’t be solved without massive changes to international copyrights and how shows/movies are bought and sold on an international market.
The real issue is humanity is pumping out more and more content each year, to the point where it would take several lifetimes to consume it all. This means there is no big central pillar anymore, simply everyone is into just their own stuff. Everyone’s tastes are so unique that other than some cursory similarities in taste most people still have wildly different preferences. It was always this way, but now with near endless content of books, blogs, websites, news, tv shows, movies, music, and video games people have more choice than ever and each choice means they are missing more and more other content by making that choice.
Its so overwhelming its making some people check out of media consumption nearly entirely.
Lmao this “Overlords” guy again. How many fucking alts are you going to spin up to keep shitting out this over-simplistic drivel. This one is just 24 minutes old.
Like, do you really have nothing the fuck better to do with your life other than shit out some fearmongering about “Overlords?” The fact that you can’t name them by name but are using a dumbfuck “overlords/illuminati/what-the-fuck-ever” shows how simplistic this thought process you’re going through is.
