It is illegal and immoral. It steals the rightful intellectual property of directors and developers who are only trying to make a living. If you want to be a thief so badly, then rob a federal bank.

    If there was a paid service that did the same I would happily pay for it.

    This is what the OG Netflix was. It solved the delivery issue Gabe has so famously talked about. I stopped pirating when Netflix launched and used it for years. Then every company had to splinter out their own streaming service taking a reasonable monthly fee back to cable prices and a fragmented ecosystem. I’ve gone back to solving the delivery issue with a $60 a year VPN and piracy. Am I proud about it? Absolutely not. Am I going to continue until there is a better answer? 100%. We’ve gone SIGNIFICANTLY backwards from where Netflix started.

    And yes, I get I can subscribe to services here and there then drop them but that still comes back to the delivery issue. I have to actively manage services and make sure I cancel them when I don’t need them anymore. This is a huge inconvenience and not something I have a desire to try and manage. Give me back my OG Netflix dammit!
