    I’m in college, and a lot of striminals don’t pirate streaming services like Netflix, but instead pirate live sports streams, because the legal alternative is pay like $70/mo for an ad-infested service. Nobody is paying that.

    Meta torrented terabytes of pirated books for their AI, and they’re the 4th biggest company in US

      I had that, but I haven’t had time to fix it since real-debrid stopped working.

        It’s working fine for me. The number of torrents went way down, but picked up and are nearly back to normal now 👍

    I’m a millennial, but I don’t stream any pirated content whatsoever.

    I download it from Usenet or sometimes torrents in its entirety. That way I don’t have to worry about the site I use getting shut down.

      That’s correct, you’re a “pirate” matey. There’s also a rising trend in using these iptv apps some else is hosting and they’re desperate to find a bad name to give them, I believe this is what the article is aimed at

    I’ve stolen all my content since the 90s, never stopped. When a service for TV and movies like Steam comes along, I’ll consider buying.

    But know what? Such a service can’t exist. Hollywood has spent too many dollars on Rube Goldberg machinations to protect their copyrights that it’s a Bulgarian clusterfuck. Welp, fine by me, not my problem.
