  • That’s not a bad thing. Maybe some of us don’t want to be cluttered with a lot of things we don’t really care for on using. God forbid we go back to simpler days of communication whereas now we’ve got things like Discord trying to charge people to pay actual money to have fancy little animations for your profile picture.

    Is that what you think is missing? Stupid pointless things that make you feel special because you paid money for it when the true attraction should be focused on how much communicating can be efficient and caring about your privacy and security?




  • We’ve lost some big ones this year alone, hadn’t we? I recall the early half of the year, that we lost some huge names or names that just shut down. Uloz flipped, still around but not what it once was. There was a lot of big names just gone all in this year alone.

    But I see all of this as multi-pronged.

    Aside from what everyone else has said. I will add that there could be people slipping into pirate ranks as a shill for these corps, gathering all that they can, slipping out to report.

    There also could be loud-mouthed pirates, ruining it for everyone because they’re loud-mouths, gotta spread the shit all the way around. That gets the attention of the corps that just hover over and count the days at that point.


  • Yeah I mean, that will be really pulling the veil away from people’s eyes right?

    So say that piracy is exterminated in a theoretical scenario, subscription prices now cost $20 - $25 per service just for standard. Tickets cost $19 per person. Rentals will cost $7. Copies still sold in retail stores and online hover $20 ~ $30.

    Now, piracy is gone, we have all of these increased expenses. Who do they honestly expect are going to still want to be paying that much?

    People will see all along that this is just simply an optional luxury to have, they can’t have it, they stop paying and take their money somewhere else.

    And does anyone think the executives and MAFIAA will finally admit that they’ve been in the wrong all this time?

    No, they’ll just suck eachother’s dicks while proclaiming that piracy still needed to go away.
