If a paid streaming service give users a worse experience than pirating, that’s on them!

Statistic is a really funny science. So some man who just pirate a 1 h 40 long movie will be inspired to also pirate a sitcom episode from the antipiracy campagne?

People who bought the movie seeing anti-piracy ads: 🤡

People who pirated the movie not seeing anti-piracy ads because they’ve been cut out: 😎

We only started pirating after Amazon refused to let us play movies we paid for because our hardware was too old for their DRM. It was a 2014 PC made of recycled parts. At the time, it was less than 10 years old. We pirated the same movie and realized it was easier to find, higher quality, and surprise, surprise, capable of playing on a PC we kept out of the landfill.

When I see anti piracy measures that punish people that don’t pirate, such as massive performance hits or privacy violating features, it makes me want to pirate more.

720 streams run from strange websites in timbucktoo have higher fidelity than the 4K stream I paid good money for.

Here’s a great price and you can share it with your friends. Wait not those friends. Wait your phone isn’t authorized anymore. Okay you authorized your phone but you need to authorize it again. Okay we just doubled the price and cut the quality again. Now you can’t watch the movies that you downloaded for offline viewing without an internet connection. Now your ad-free service has ads.

Netflix can take a long hard suck on my pudding factory, they’re never going to see another penny of my money again, and this is from somebody that goes back to the DVD days of Netflix.

Oh yeah, and we changed the movie too.

I rented a car to do Uber with while I apply for jobs, and the car is an electric. They had no gas powered cars available.

It is such a pain in the ass. I’ve only had it for a couple of days, but so far I’ve spent 2.5 hours today waiting for charge, and about 5 hours driving passengers.

I’m ready. I want to download a car. Just need someone to point me in the right direction.

I’m suspicious of the idea that women respond favorably to those notices.

“You wouldn’t download a car…”
Women: Gee, officer, that’s a good point.

Riiiiiiight…

mvirts ,

Lol piracy intentions :P

now we need a follow up study comparing gender differences between who gets caught more.

“You wouldn’t download a house.”

Fuck you, I would if I could.

los_chill ,

Yeah, proper cohort attribution seems to be a little lacking by this data analyst. I’d say gender bias has already occured before your specific sample point… bro

They work on my mother, but she has the kind of faith in the system I honestly envy. It seems like a much more tranquil existence.

This is the same woman who thinks the Judge Rotenburg center must not be that bad, because otherwise it would have already been closed down. She just…can’t imagine a regulatory failure that big actually happening.

vonbaronhans ,

“what’s the Judge Rotenburg Center?” looks it up“Jesus”

acetanilide ,

Couldn’t even finish reading the Wiki article

Cort ,

Ok, I had to stop reading at the shock collars for mentally disabled kids. That’s some introduction paragraph.

AeonFelis ,

According to the article, these were threatening messages (one about potential viruses, another about legal penalties). It fits gender stereotypes perfectly for women to seek to mitigate risks while seek someone to hold their beer.

@WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

So the result of the study is “it’s pretty easy to scare women into submission”? Sounds like a great use of their time and resources. 🤮

I actually spent time on ripping the ‘you wouldn’t steal…’ video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. 😅

“oh, right. If I had just pirated this my content wouldn’t be delayed by these stupid piracy warnings.”

Sony lost any moral high ground when they put a commercial for a Toyota on my Blu-ray of 1408 which retailed for $35 at the time. And of course, you can’t skip it.

lemann ,

That reminded me about those long, unskippable previews on DVDs… extremely annoying. VLC at least could skip straight to the disc menu though, pretty much ditched Windows Media Player and PowerDVD after that.

Now here I am on the high seas, with all my media consumption devices running some flavor of Linux. Have not had a single annoyance since.

olbaidiablo ,

I’ve been sailing the high seas since BBS’s reigned supreme. Btw, there are telnet BBS’s.

I love it when corpos remind us that there is an alternative to purchasing their add bloated products.

FiftyShadesOfMyCow ,

I love that cyberpunk made that term popular. Fuck them, indeed.

WaylandHater26 ,

Those Ads at the beginning of legitimate copies of DVDS and movies, really bugged me, like why are you annoying the people who actually bought the product!? Also the people downloading stuff online seemed cool in those videos so I think the ads had the opposite effect a lot of the time.

THE_MASTERMIND ,

We are cool get in it with us chud.

ShepherdPie ,

Plus they come off like those ridiculous anti-drug ads that make it seem like a single puff of weed will make you shoot your friend in the face and run your dog over. They’re just way over the top to the point that they’re comical and easy to mock.

That shit bothered me as far back as in the 80’s on VHS rentals. They’ve never treated viewers as anything other than a sales opportunity. The motion picture industry has always been disgusting and dehumanizing.

I would absolutely download a car, sounded like the coolest shit to me as a 14 year old

Might have to cop that hoodie, but I’m not watching bros camrip 💀

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed, they’re the worst!

ItsAFake ,

Weirdly enough I used to enjoy camrips when I was broke and depressed, kinda gave me the feeling I was in a room with people.

My favourites were the ones where people couldn’t sit still, felt good yelling at someone to sit the fuck down, knowing they cant hit me.

WaylandHater26 ,

That’s actually really sweet ahhh

Give me the means and hell yea I’d download a car!

This is Chad. Chad downloaded the movie from a pirate site, then smoked a joint and got a blowjob. Don’t be like Chad.
