Not wrong

nobody said buying a license was owning, only retarded zoomers.

>If I didnt read the terms when paying for that thing, then I'm fully justified in not paying for that thing!

>>212142419
That would indeed be a retarded thing to say. Who are you quoting though?

Only faggots have the need to justify their behavior. If corpos want more money they can abuse their paypigs.

I'm pretty sure the argument isn't legalistic, it's moralist. As in, nobody is claiming that Netflix/Hulu/whatever TOS allow you to access the content forever. The argument is that it should, and if it doesn't, users will find alternative ways to achieve it while spending even less money.

Are you retarded?

How does /tv/ cope with the fact that online piracy is effectively a third world operation.

>>212142590
Prove I'm not in fact devilishly clever. You see they did at no point literally say the car wasn't mine

>>212142653
I am from and live next door to the third world. What's there to cope with?

>>212142653
The delusion that middle class Americans aren't a Third World economy nested in a First World one that uses them as cattle is surprisingly sturdy.

As /tv/ proves time and again, calling yourself "based" can counter even the most obvious and seemingly inevitable impulse for basic self awareness.

Piracy never went away. Have zoomers just discovered torrenting?

i just want free shit

Piracy was supposed to kill media 30 years ago and somehow still hasn't.

>>212141940 (OP)
Ok and what's new?

>paying for software
crazy to think people actually do this

Piracy promotes some media, so many movies and shows I would've never been exposed to and end up supporting had it not been pirated. Hell in my country the only way you could watch Naruto was those 1/3 cut episodes people would upload to Youtube in the 2000's.

>lease a vehicle
>keep it
>uhhhh if leasing isn't owning then carjacking isn't stealing
You can say piracy is morally justifieable and I'd even agree with you but don't pretend it isn't theft.

>>212145819
Try this again in 20 years when media is “leased.”

>implying it ever went anywhere
nost people stopped pirating when streaming was cheap and easy. now it's expensive with barely any content

Don't fear the penguin.

I download media with a clear conscience for a few simple reason.
One, advertising. The old deal was, if I had to put up with advertising, then I get the product for free. And these days. entertainment celebrities won't stop blabbing about their political opinions. If I have to put up with that, then I get whatever they produce for free. If they don't like it, they can SHUT THE HELL UP.
Two, regulatory capture. Copyright used to be 17 years. Now, it's the life of the author plus 70 years. That was mostly pushed through by Disney and their well-paid army of lawyers. It's bullshit. The only way I can fight back against a system that's heavily stacked against me is to defy it.
Three, if I download something, and I like it, I buy it. I have a bookcase full of DVDs I've never watched, just because I want to support the creator of something I enjoyed.

One reason piracy is justifiable is that developers and content distributors can decide, on a whim, to change the original product. From that point on without piracy that product no longer exists.
Piracy is freedom.

>I would like to watch [show]
>You can watch [show] if you pay 20 dollars a month for a streaming service
>But I don't want to subscribe to a streaming service, I just want to watch the one thing, and I'm not sure I'll even like it. Can I pay you to download a copy of the first episode? Or get some sort of trial?
>No.

How does pirating films fund terrorism, or anyone, if they're not getting paid to provide these things?

>>212146628
It's like marijuana, it's a gateway crime
