And yet, a lot of you deviant criminals have somehow gotten the idea it's "less serious" to steal digital media through torrenting sites. Newsflash, scum, it's actually a felony under U.S. law which can land you 5 years in prison with up to $250,000 fines.

I don't even use a VPN and get every new show and movie within minutes of release. Shit's cash.

I would totally download a car and house and fat-assed woman

>>212007062 (OP)
I've been torrenting since I was 9. Must not be very serious if nobody has come after me.

>>212007359
The wicked flee even when none pursueth.

>>212007309
I'm still waiting on these downloadable cars they keep talking about.

A lost sale is stealing.

Doesn't surprise me. Absolutely cucked.

>>212007062 (OP)
You're absolutely right, my friend, you've opened my eyes. From now on, I'll gladly subscribe to services that keep churning out mediocre content, offer a crappy catalog where you have to pay extra to watch anything half-decent, all while getting bombarded with ads for shit I couldn't care less about

>>212007680
No one is fleeing. No one cares.

>>212007062 (OP)
I've gotten the idea from my local government that absolutely does not care if I torrent, as long as I don't sell access to others (which I don't).
Actors, producers and directors are unpleasant people anyway. They occasionally produce good product, which I enjoy, but I don't mind them being paid less. If anything being poorer might just make them represent someone like me on screen more.

I'd download Sydney Sweeney in a maid uniform.

It’s a felony?!
:o
I guess I’ll definitely cancel my qbittorrent+ subscription

>>212007062 (OP)
This is a board where we jack off to the feet of underage actresses. The law only matters if you can get caught.

Nothing will stop me

Newsflash bootlicker, not everyone lives in the US

>>212007062 (OP)
But I get to own a car.

if you could 100% copy a car without removing the original what's the problem?

>>212010115
Because what about the little guy? The Mom and Pops car factories? It's easy to say fuck the international megacorps but car piracy hurts small independent manufacturers.

>>212010115
uh, oil prices would probably go up?

>>212010295
Small car factories aren't in it for the money. They do it for the love of the craft.

>>212007062 (OP)
Well, piracy certainly isn't a problem for them anymore.

>>212007062 (OP)
But it's free?

>>212007062 (OP)
>mfw I download and delete the same movie enough times to cause bankruptcy for the studio
And guess what? It can't be a lost sale since I was never going to buy it anyway.

This warning used music without permission, illegally

>>212007062 (OP)
Well it's legal in my country.

Everyone not paying for your movie is a lost sale. So do the people who refuse to watch the latest slop become criminals because they aren't interested in watching shit?

I use stream sites now instead of torrents. ISP can't shut off your internet for that and don't need VPN, just adblockers.
