*Looks at the 4 busted ass appliances, that were built to fall, I bought brand new 3 years ago that are barely clinging onto life. * Consumer protection huh? What a concept.

oh silly me

Glad to see someone else have the exact reaction I did. They know this has nothing to do with consumer protections. Thats just blatant, bold-face lying.

Oh thank the heavens, someone is here to save us guys!!! The corporate greed and multiple wars going on aren't important right now, at least we are safe from free media!

Haven't watched on fmovies before, thanks for the suggestion I guess :)

FYI It seems like at least the US government doesn't want you to go there. So if Fmoviesz is down or something, you should be careful to avoid alternatives such as sflix.to, lookmovie2.to, flixtorz.to, sflix.to, movieuniverse.se, soap2dayto.day.

Goddammit Ted Lieu, you are for encryption and data privacy but you're against media sharing?

He's for whoever pays him money... bunch of dirty greedy fuckwads who have zero concept of how the average person lives. Piracy wouldn't be a problem if companies were providing easy access for a low price. It had dropped quite a bit when netflix was the only option and they weren't charging extortion fees and raising them every couple months.

Not to mention the insane amount of exclusivity going on now and even the stupidity of certain features of the service not being available in certain areas. I stopped paying for Netflix when I got it from a rep that because I was living in a non-English-speaking country that I couldn't have access to the English voice track of a show I wanted to watch.

Subscriptions are the next iteration of the console wars. They bank on exclusives instead of designing the best user experience and selling themselves on merit alone.

Yes, he's making that pretty obvious

I feel like this would just push more nontechies to learn how to be better pirates. It would do very little to stop piracy.

[–] Moltz@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Only way to stop piracy is to make it easier and cheaper to buy the goods legitimately in all corners of the world. Since that won't be happening, and since so much content is an outright gamble if it's even any good, piracy will continue to grow.
