Didn’t need to pirate shit when everything was on Netflix for $8. But if everyone and their mother is gonna start their own streaming service and charge $18 a month I will simply steal

did it nearly die? i watched about half of the video and the graph he references twice shows a dwindling number of accessed streams until 2020, with a sharp uptick since. but the low point of the graph is 100 billion accessed.
i gotta say this guy wasn't bringing up much new material, even had gaben's old quote "piracy is a service problem" which is where i gave up on his vid.
i was interested to see the stats on manga piracy and how its driven by yanks tho.
going back to the graph, id be interested to see where the 40 billion new pirate streamers are from. even though im a crotchety mIRC pirate, my friends n fam and associates all pay for disney+ etc. my only mates are online folks like y'all
Is it really the atomization of content and services driving this as the video claims, or is it increased Internet access around the world along with proliferation of high speed pirate sites —and the ever-increasing content/quality, with all manner of live sports from all over the globe— driving this trend?

If it was only US stats.. I’d say the fragmentation.
But on a global level, it’s internet access.

Putting together a home media server is also easier than ever. Plex is so simple and I never have to suffer the indignity of paying for multiple streaming services, which throttle video quality to save money and put ads in the middle of shows. Now I can watch whatever I want with no buffering, no ads, in the highest quality, and I don't have to wade through a million dogshit shows and films either, it's just what I want.

Piracy has never "almost died" .westerners are so Anglo brained

Not related to the video but figured id ask

The ones from the piracy guide . I don't play switch games but the nintendo rom sections had plenty of switch rom sites and the links are working fine for me.

No way in hell am I going to buy another finicky PS2 and spend $300+ on some games I want to play on it. Those consoles fall apart too easily so I'm glad people are out there preserving games so they can be enjoyed long after the devices that play them are dead.
Ps1s hold up better but those games are also $$$. No thanks

piracy never died, westerners just stopped showing up. can't really complain now though they got good internet and seeding is through the roof.
When I discovered luxury piracy (a $12 seedbox with jellyfinn and sonarr/radarr) it was game over, and now I feel good for seeding like a mofo
tell me more about this seedbox - does it mean I won't have to go to a sketchy website to find the magnet link anymore?
