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.
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.
I’ll buy music directly from artists on bandcamp and such, especially since they offer unlimited DRM-free FLAC downloads, but any other media at this point is just absurdly inconvenient. Everything’s just tied to dogshit streaming platforms.
If there were a DRM-free option to buy and download movies or shows for life, I’d definitely be buying what I can here and there. But everything is so locked down or encumbered with other bullshit that it’s not a viable option.
I was. Until they made that so difficult and time consuming that the barrier to entry was too high. Not because of the price. But because of availability. When Google play music was a thing? I bought music. When streaming took over I moved to Bandcamp. But Bandcamp doesn’t have everything. There’s no music stores anymore where I can just go and buy music. It’s all Amazon and similar.
I’d love to own the ghibli collection. But to get it I have to buy the DVD’s (and have a DVD player to play them on), or I have to pirate them. No digital store front seems to have the whole collection. This happens all the time with media that I’m willing to pay for.
Along with bandcamp, there’s Qobuz, 7digital, and HDTracks that I can recommend for digital downloads. Those other three often have what bandcamp does not, much more common songs. Many in 24-bit.
Yeah, just buy yourself a dvd/blu-ray player just to rip it, wait for the disk to arrive, connect it to your computer and set aside the time to rip it (if you even know how).
Such a reasonable alternative to setting up radarr one time and watching the movie immediately. Can’t have a digital storefront where I get to own my digital copy.
To some extent you’re right. There’d be less content if nobody paid. But imagine current society without treats. I don’t know if capitalism without “panem et circenses” would start to crumble real fast.
If the argument is talk with money then giving them 0 and taking from them is the strongest argument you can have morally speaking. Piracy is more convient regardless.

Can’t consume it, can’t buy it.
Buy food, copy data.

Vote with your wallet? This has never ended Google, Apple or Microsoft. These capitalist fantasies never work in the real world 🤣🤣
Pirracy is a service issue. People gladly pay when it’s not a shitty experience.
If there was a Bandcamp for film and TV, then I would buy stuff there. DRM free.
But until then…
Which works for some content, but a lot of childrens content is only available through subscriptions to Netflix/Disney+/Max.

buying physical media and ripping yourself is the only viable option but it’s so inconvenient

Man. Google play music. Fucking miss that service.
Found so much good music… Still hurts me it died.
Buy the dvds and rip them…
Most companies stopped making both the discs and the drives/players. Not a long term strategy.

That is extremely inconvenient and jist feels wrong. There’s no reason a digital file has to be tied to an inconvenient, small-volume media.
Pretty sure all of Studio Gihibli is on Fandango/Vudu.
Looks like from a cursory search only 12 of them available of about 22.
So… buy the DVDs? Or any other Ghibli merch.
Nah fuck that. Ignore this guy, everyone pirate everything until they fix it again.
People don’t pirate music, guess why?
😶🌫️
The days of Oink and what.cd are long gone. I’m sure people rip streams, but most will just actually stream.
Sorta…
Not the only ways to do it by far, but I do agree with you that most people just pay for streaming services.

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.
