Copyright holders hire services that use bots to monitor file-sharing networks and send ISPs millions of notices a year alleging infringement by someone at a particular IP address, Cox told the Supreme Court. Cox said that ISPs “have no way of verifying whether a bot-generated notice is accurate” and that even if the notices are accurate, terminating an account would punish every user in a household where only one person may have illegally downloaded copyrighted files.
I think most of us who were of job age did the same. $10 a month not to worry about disc failures, shitty updates and they have most of what I want to watch? HELLS YES. We were naive to think they’d keep it going. They’re all trying to get up to that $100 per month per head cable price.
I shared a netflix when it came up, paid like 2,60 in the end. But it was too much for what I got: Some measly series, where the better ones were not finished. Half of what the Muricans got for exactly the same price. And on top of that I couldn’t install it (or view in HD) on most of my devices. Because they are rooted, as i prefer to OWN expensive tech-gadgets, not rent them.
I had it for the ease of use. Yes. In the end, sonarr/radarr and emby are way more comfy. I enter a series’ name and watch it some minutes later. Steam is still comfy because I don’t need TONS of HDDs (i already have an archive of like 100tb of disks) and don’t need to worry about updates. I only pirate to test a game. Nowadays 95% is crap anyway.
One streaming-service that has it all and lets me watch it on ANY device? Yeah sure, why not. But netfucks? lol no. Since i left they raised their prices like 2 or 3 times. But people don’t seem to care, so they’ll continue.
