Its time to share the wiki and get your friends on board the ship as we set sail. We all have to rally together to stop the neverending subscription model.

Give them this map; its all the booty they need: https://rentry.co/megathread

    Piracy will always be an arms race. The only way they can end it is by solving the problems that drive people to it. The size of the Internet is too large to block. I know I stopped piracy for 5 years because everything was accessible on Netflix and Hulu. Now all these streaming services I picked it back up.

      Yeah, I’m heading back towards it as well.

      Cancelled Prime because half the content has ads now, and the rest are getting ads next year.

      What I want is one service, all mainstream content (no longer in cinemas, a few months after the disc release), for around £30/mo. 4K, HDR, good audio. I’m really not asking much. It’s got to the point where I want to watch something specific, check justwatch and find that either the only way to get it is to rent it for twice the price of buying the disc, or that none of them have it.

      They need to learn from the music services. Music was the most pirated stuff a few years back, but now I just have Spotify and can listen to whatever, whenever. I don’t need 3 services, and fuck around looking for stuff.

        I think you missed the point. None of these sites are solid like a rock and it isn’t just because people talk about them. It’s an arms race like they said. Things are always adapting

        Most of these services are FOSS and they can’t be shut down because they don’t break any laws. The only thing that is in the gray zone are torrent sites, which are in abundance and it’s not really that hard to switch from one to another or create a new one as operating costs are almost zero.
