I don't know, go ask Disney. They bought the Marvel stuff and are making a new Daredevil. Hired the same staff as Netflix. Their contracts were such that they got raises after season 4. Guess what Disney arranged for the Daredevil show? They are starting it OVER at season 1. So no raises! This is one of the richest corporations in galactic history, crying at paying an animator an extra twenty bucks an hour or something.

You corporate cocksuckers go tell me how and why Disney rationalizes that shit and how that's okay and I'll worry about my rationalizations for grabbing Boba Fett off xxx.hottorrentzz.org. Christ bootlickers make me sick. Don't be bootlickers.

Why is it that people who clearly are stealing want to rationalize it? For some reason - dislike of the price, unavailability, dislike of the distributor - you don't want to (or can't) pay for a movie or TV show. If you can't buy it because it's not available in your region, but you can get it through "unauthorized duplication" that would be one thing. But if you could otherwie afford it, but for whatever reason choose not to, admit you steal it and don't rationalize it away.

I'm not being "holier than thou," if you want to pirate stuff, that's your businessl I don't make or lose money from this activity by others. When I was young and broke I pirated software big time, I was both taking and distributing copyrighted software, as long as the person wanting to borrow from me knew how to make a copy without fucking up mine I'd loan them to anyone in the computer room in the library, to make their own copy. I only had to restrict one guy who fucked up one of my originals because he did it wrong. I still let him had copies, but he either had to supply the disks or buy them from me and I'd copy them.

Yes, I did say "buy them from me." If anyone copying software from me didn't have enough disks, I'd sell them mine at about 100% markup (bought disks for 50c (+3c tax for ones I bought retail, 0 for disks I bought for resale), resold them for $1, tax included. And yes, I actually did pay the sales and use tax to the California Franchise Tax Board. Part of the reason being, if I had a permit and never used it, FTB might cancel it. On the other hand, even if I was only paying ~$2.50 a quarter (6c * 40 disks) it's above zero so I have an operating account.

I never rationalized it at all. I could not afford software, so I stole it, and trafficked in pirated software with other broke college students. At least back then it wasn't illegal (redistribution without gain wasn't a crime).

Too late. Already reported this thread to the FEDZ muthafuckaz.

Xfinity 4 play + gigabit + mobile + Prime + Hulu + Netflix + Paramount+ + HBOMax + ExpressVPN + PBS is about $500

At the $500 level you get Ha!. That's the channel.

I copy software all the time, no big whoop

Also how is it possible to spend "$500 a month" on entertainment and somehow still not have Comedy Central?

Why can't he say it?

I'm right now enjoying my free copy of Rick and Morty s06e01, why don't you turn me in to the comedy central police you piece of shit.

Come on, buddy! You can do it!

I'll say it, my Xfinity premium package used to include Cartoon Network and the fuckers took it away for the same price so fuck them and fuck you.

Just say it. Take one small step today to crawl out of the loser pit.

We're all here for you.

Hey Pindick, the line to suck millionaire's dicks is over at tiktok. Elon Musk needs to get his shine on so why don't you go get your shinebox and suck his dick real well.

Hey Jonsey, am I wrong in assuming that one of the original purposes of JoltCountry BBS was to share WAREZ? (like every other BBS in existence at the time)

Hey Moral Oral, what about all the shit that gets bundled in that I don't watch? How come it only works in their favor? I had no idea that Pinback was such a shill for corporate greed.

Yeah, I pay $500 a month for service and entertainment and still can't watch what I want.

I am with you on this one, yes.

You can use the search function of qBittorrent and sort by seeders. Works for me.
