Piracy isn't the only alternative to streaming! Please consider putting a side a certain amount of money each month to buy physical disks, making films isn't free and buying disks is the best way to suport them. Then you can pirate the rest.

Correction: no one deserves your money. Fuck big business.

I totally get the anger with Netflix. I fucking hate them as a filmmaker. But I really don't think a long term solution is pirating content.

BUY CONTENT YOU LIKE

Is it more expensive? Of course it is, that's part of an equitable society. Also it means you end up with content you really like and not a bunch of junk.

I buy vinyl and buy flac music from artists I like.

But if your digital content isnt available in my region imma pirate it and assume the racist fucks have enough money.

Pirracy is a service issue. People gladly pay when it's not a shitty experience.

It's made intentionally hard though. Try buying The Expanse Blu Ray collection for example. Season 4 literally only comes region A locked, and is not playable on non modified Blu-ray players if you're in the EU. I was excited to buy it after getting a decent Blu-ray player so I could rewatch it with my partner who hasn't seen it, but something dumb like that does put a damper on things, so we haven't even bothered with it, despite downloading it.
