Consumers: “But I wanna watch this show! I’ll literally die without it, you don’t understaaaaaand!”
There's always BitTorrent.
If piracy actually deprived IP owners of money I’d being torrenting all day every day until they were broke lmao
I watched avatar to spite them
The respect I can bring up for you depends on how you answer this question:
Which Avatar do you mean?
Aang
You pass 👍
I should re watch the series.
Some days ago I saw something about the movie, and I'm already astonished at how bad it is. Still better than the blue weirdos though.
You know there is an animated Aang movie ojt that got leaked? Its good I liked it.
Idk, Last Airbender is the worst movie I've ever paid money to see. I saw Avatar for free and thought it was meh, but it's still vastly more watchable than that Shyamalanian catastrophe. Like, at least the dialogue doesn't sound like it was written in crayon.
Probably right. It's been a while. i still laugh at the bending
It deprives them of money if people would have paid otherwise. It generally doesn't though, because most people will just pay up. If people are able to be convinced to pirate instead, they'd lose money from that effect. (It wouldn't cost them money, but it would lose them money they could have made.)
That makes no sense. What is the point you are trying to make exactly?
I read it as "torrent isn't stealing, but if it was id do it even harder because those guys suck".
Seems like the obvious interpretation, not sure how the other guy missed it
Derp a derp. He's probably a real big dummy. Just just ignore him like I do.
People's unwillingness to do the easy shit is why I hold little hope.
Omg! Think of the minor level of sacrifice!
Right? I know the hard shit is hard and I’m not going to make demands for it, but I’m getting real tired of the fact that I get more hate for telling people they shouldn’t reward the bad behaviour of evil people than the evil people get.
