And this is exactly what is pushing people back to piracy. It’s easier to get all your movies from the pirate bay than it is to find it legally and pay for it.
Or if you want to stream it, you can check movie-web.app. It’s a great service.
Definitely saving that website. Was previously using lookmovies2.to, but that looks way better.
But seriously don’t use the pirate bay. There are way better public trackers out now.
Yuup, this is why i started pirating again, which i haven’t done in a long while.
Yup I have access to 3 streaming services. When we look for something it’s the same story fail on 1 fail on 2 fail on 3 find it in 5 mins via other means
What really annoys me is paying for the biggest Netflix package to get 4K content, then you watch a somewhat recent (non-Netflix) movie like The Equalizer (2014) and it’s 1080p or less with a terrible bit rate.
That movie is available in 4K HDR. I know because I downloaded it to my Plex server and switched to watching that after 15 minutes of watching macroblocking and pixelation artefacts via the legal method.
What annoys me ever more is that despite paying for the 4K tier of the streaming platform, and the ‘best tier’ on my Internet plan. If I were to watch a not insignificant amount of 4k movies - I would hit my ‘data cap’ and be unable to use the Internet at all for the rest of the month.
What are you referring to here?
That I have a data cap of 100GB and after that I am at 56kbps speeds? Because we treat the internet as a luxury instead of a utility.
WTF, Internet providers once tried to impose data caps on home internet here in Germany, but they dropped that real fast.
And 100GB isnt even a lot of data, its more like a top tier phone plan, not even close to enough for a home.
I will soon get gigabit fiber for 40€ per month, so yeah.
Data cap? What in the third world
Welcome to comcast ‘business practices’. I have a 1 TB cap too, I think they charge $10 per bundle of 50 or 100 gb after, or something equally ridiculous for ‘overage charges’.
Hey now, that’s unfair to 3rd world countries. I live in a 3rd world country and we don’t have data caps lol. Only place I’ve heard of them is in the US and Australia (notably not 3rd world countries).
When pirating becomes easier and more convenient than using the legit services, the industry is doing something very wrong…
I pirate it, simple
Just as annoying, only cheaper.
I type it in Radarr or Sonarr and let my -arr stack work its magic. Depending on how popular a show or movie is, I can watch it in a few minutes on my Kodi TV. Wouldn’t really call it annoying.
Check out overseerr. You can search for movies or tv shows from there and it will request to radarr and sonarr for you. But what’s nice is it shows you all the popular shows, gives your recommendations, you can search by streaming service if you want.
I’m in an invite only site that I’m not going to name and there hasn’t been a single instance of something not being uploaded there that I wanted to watch.
It’s almost like they want us to pirate shit.
It’s a consequence of only thinking one quarter at a time.
If all the content creators pooled their content into one platform and split the profit based on viewership, they’d be making far more money on the deal. I’d gladly pay $50/month for access to everything in one place.
I haven’t had the need to sail the seas, since BluRays are still being pressed, and the local library has a bunch of them. Free of charge. Also found a use for my old PS3.
Yeah this meme (and most the folks in this thread) acting like you can’t just buy the disc still.
(Obviously there is some digital only stuff so I get pirating that but I see tons of obscure stuff coming to disc still)
Shiver me timberrs
Just Watch is a great app for finding out where something is.
Yes. It is fucking ridiculous that we need an app to find this stuff, but at least there’s an app…
movie-web.app is also a stellar source for finding out where movies can be streamed!
:/ This doesn’t seem to take regional differences into account.
This shit is never up to date tho I swear
I’ve been using it for many years and never once has it been wrong. Hell they even show you things added that day that are on your streaming services. Like down to individual episode releases.
Same here—never had a problem with it. Guess it might depend where you are…
Yeah honestly I’d rather some VPN provider get my $15 so I can torrent in peace rather than giving it to one of ten different streaming providers so they can pay some executive to dream up new ways to extract value from me for sitcoms from the 90s.
I just torrent or stream without a VPN. Is that unsafe?
Eh the only thing is copyright holders might complain to your ISP, who might send you a nasty letter. I’m not sure if they actually close accounts over it
Yarr!
This is why I pirate anime and then buy manga to support the authors. I’m not gonna give streaming services a dime when piracy site I use has better features and services.
You can still buy DVDs can’t you? What I miss though is being able to rent movies at a place with a big assortment.
Do they still come with unskippable ads telling me to not download a car?
Buy those discs before they go away!
I started buying blu rays for the movies I really care to watch more than once. I can rip it to my Plex server and if I decide I don’t want it I can go back to the local used movie shop and trade it in for some new discs.
I will pirate movies I already own the physical disks for. It’s quicker and easier than finding the disk (and likely having to sit through the ads that are on it).
It’s not piracy if you own the movies ???
That depends on local laws. Downloading a copy of something you already own is legit in some countries, but in others it still counts as piracy.
That’s the neat part. As they’re a physical object… They don’t ‘go away’, their license doesn’t expire.
You can just borrow them down at the library and rip them yourself, or buy them at a local discount store.
