Yeah, good point. It's not a clear-cut black and white issue after all, and currently absolutely tilted towards the lobbyists/big media

Eh, not my impression at all

My thoughts exactly, thanks for writing this comment. The discourse in here is a bit one-sided

Good point on not pirating and promoting the alternatives. Didn't occur to me that a user pirating is one less user for competing products or free software

Man, what an echo chamber of anti-corporation and anti-copyright sentiments. I pirate myself, because the services for tv/movies are not convenient, but I don't delude myself into thinking it's somehow justified. If I could get any movie or series on demand like spotify I wouldn't pirate (if I could afford it). I fail to see how anything else would be ethical to the creators of the content.

Trying to find something to watch on Netflix was exhausting. Basically looking up every show on the mobile for imdb rating / rotten score etc to see if its worthwhile. I don't watch that much TV, so I'm not going to binge any crappy show or movie

Not the case in northern Europe by the way. I'm just as shocked when visiting countries in mid/south Europe

They have more direct control over their software ecosystem though
