A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Piracy is a service problem. Allow us to just buy DRM free files for movies and TV like both the music and games industry do and you'll have much fewer pirates.

Get rid of the 20 million streaming services and just allow us to purchase the things we want outright without DRM from the comfort of our internet connected devices and this problem will lessen.

I was talking more generally but thank you for the information.

I agree with the general idea, but this is not so simple. Also, piracy shield is very bad (and ineffective, apparently)
