      I think people are either righteous about how nobody should pirate, or they pirate and don't see it as a bad thing. Are there many people who would pirate and then go on the internet and tell lies?

      I can say pirating is fine as long as you pay a reasonable amount into the industry you pirate from, say maybe you love movies and already buy $300 of movies a year but need to pirate the rest. Or maybe you pirate stuff you can’t buy anymore. But if you pirate just to save money and don’t put money into that industry then you are bad.
      As for Linus saying you’d deserve a free high def upgrade, I say it should be a fee. Like if you have it then your digital copy can be upgraded for $1-5. Otherwise there is less incentives for a remaster. Some will buy it but what about something like lord of the rings. Most anybody who will buy it already has so free upgrades would not make much money.

    Piracy is honestly mostly the fault of distributors. Look at music for example. Almost nobody pirates music anymore because it's so easy to purchase and buy whenever you want.
    Yet when you want to watch a film, you have to be subscribed to god knows how many services to get full access to everything you want at once.
    That's ignoring obscure films you'd never get to see otherwise or films that you can only see on some nasty compressed streaming service.

    "In general, we think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the U.S. release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customers use or by creating uncertainty."

    To add to this old topic: One of the first games I had pirated was Oblivion because I was too young and just did not have money. But I distinctly remember every moment of it and have since given Bethesda a ton of money. Piracy of their game eventually did not inherently mean that it was a bad outcome for Bethesda.

    One of the reasons Microsoft has been the OS and Office software leader for three decades is that they really don't put much DRM on their products even though they could. Brand and product familiarity is what keeps them in 80% or more of personal computers. You might be pirating Windows, but you're still using Windows, and when you DO eventually pay for an OS one way or another, it will more likely be Windows.

    I 100% agree with you Linus, I have just finished transferring my video collection to plex, over 600 movies not including tv shows, and it irritates me when I see producers piece mill content to get the public to buy multiple times, or selling digital copies, then not giving a way to download those copies which when they go belly up leave you with nothing. By the way, I still have my black & gold copies of star wars on vhs along with the DVDs so I too feel like I paid enough.

    I became a pirate when I bought my 3D TV.
    I was so happy when I got home and was looking to buy the Avatar 3D Bluray. As it turned out that Bluray was exclusive availabe if you bought a Panasonic 3D TV or player. SoI looked on ebay and the prices where beyond sanity.
    After a lot of Internet research I learned how to safely pirate and found that movie. Over 10 years later I have triple digit TB of movies on my homeserver.
    I'm pretty sure I'd still buy blurays upon blurays if I didn't have to learn it back then to get that artificial deflaction of that movie. Now I only buy the ones that I want to support after watching them.

    The Expanse is an example of a show that I loved so much, but couldn't get easy access to - it wasn't streaming on any platform as new episodes, as far as I can remember there either wasn't a SyFy streaming app or The Expanse couldn't be watched on it, and while I do have some sort of live TV cable package bundled with my internet, there was no world where I was watching the show live on TV with ads. But, I adored the show in season 1, bought all the novels and fell even more in love, and bought each season on Google Play for $20? $30? because I wanted to directly support them. I re-watch the whole show before a new season airs, so it has definitely been a worthwhile purchase. And like Linus says, I feel good about the fact that I've supported the show far more than anyone who watched live on TV or streamed it from Amazon or Netflix a year after airing.

    Not sure if I agree with getting remastered versions when you purchased an original version 5+ years ago type situation because remastering takes extra work for upscaling, etc, depending on the quality of the original film.
    Now, current movies that are shot and edited in 4k+ is a different story. It's ridiculous to even bother selling the different resolutions of digital copies for different prices or even bother selling the different resolutions. Often the movies I go to purchase, all resolutions are the same price, but why would you bother buying anything other than the highest quality?!

    9:35 The remaster of Star Trek The Next Generation was a very expensive and time consuming undertaking.
    The VFX shots were recorded on film, each shot consisted out of multiple passes. So they had to scan multiple rolls of film, clean the scanned images and then composit everything together just to get the VFX shot.
    Then they had to scan all the film of the actors (the entire show was shot on film), clean every scanned picture, color correct and then compsit everything together.
    These high effort remasters I am willing to pay money for. There is a short documentary which explains the entire process - worth to watch!

    That's unfair. If content producers want us to own licenses and never the actual medium it should go both ways, I have a license to watch this content in the format that best suits me. So either I own the DVD I bought and can do whatever I want with it, or i own a license to watch the media in the format I choose.

    One of my biggest pet peeves is you can walk into a shop looking to purchase you favorite new show on physical media. Problem is they only have it available on DVD as in never got a blu-ray / 4K blu-ray release. This problem is exacerbated when you can go on iTunes / Amazon Prime / Netflix and watch that very same show in HD or 4K. What's even worse is when a show gets the first season or two released on Blu-ray but then the rest don't get released or only get released on DVD.
    A prime example of this is the fact that I own the show Seinfeld on DVD and currently there is no better release available physically. However I can go on Hulu (soon to be Netflix) and watch the entire series in HD. Never mind the cropping / aspect ratio issues as that's neither here nor there and has nothing to do with my point.
    To boil it down, the powers that be, be it studios or whoever, insist on putting up all these "barriers" that make it difficult for me to simply enjoy things in a manner most convenient to me. That said I'm not expressly condoning piracy but I can understand why some people do it.

    Don't get me wrong, I pay for games, I own a Switch with about $800 worth of games.
    If i like the game, I'll buy it. I bought BoTW and the DLC-s, $90, and I've spent 200+ hours playing it.
    I bought most Dawn of War games, Portal, Besiege, BeamNG, KSP.
    I spent at least 100 hours in every game listed, of course I'll give them money for it, after pirating the first time (If i had a demo at first...)
    The same with movies. I go to the cinema whenever I like the movie that is showing, but I pirate most of them.
    As well as TV shows. I won't pay $10 for a movie I'll watch once. I'll buy it if I loved it after I pirated it and I want to rewatch it multiple times in the future.

    For me this is not really about price or convenience, but sometimes it is LITERALLY impossible to get access to some of the things. Sometimes some things are just not on any streaming platform, when they are the streaming platform is unavailable in my country, other times I get access to streaming platforms (like Amazon Prime Video), but a vast majority of content on these streaming platforms is just not available in my country. Some might say that I can always just buy a CD, but Amazon literally says "Cannot ship to your current location". And it's not like I live in some shithole in the middle of the ocean... it's European Union! And all that taking into account that I AM willing to pay money for that content.

    I feel the divorce thing. I remember when my parents broke up, my brother and I had to choose between living with our dad or mom. I chose to live with dad my brother chose to live with mom. Divorce is rough, I don't think I saw my brother for a year. We did not live together again until the court ordered split custody, then it was moving every 2 weeks.

    Didn't amazon do this? I remember when you bought the physical copy of a dvd or cd you would get the digital copy for free. What happened to that? Also when we got a computer it came with a burning software already included so we could burn cd's and dvd's.

    Oh wow, Luke has just sent me back to my IT classroom with that lol limewire reference. I've spent many a lessons running around the classroom spamming lol limewire windows so it's just a chorus of low poly white noise and the occasional "YEAH!".
    Good times.

    Gotta be honest, I use sites like kimcartoon/kisscartoon to check out shows since I don't own cable, then if I like the show based off the first few episodes I'll wait till the entire season is out until I legally purchase it to watch. I also "pirate" to watch movies and shows I already own on DVD/vhs since my computer doesn't have a DVD player. It's just easier and more convenient. Basically, if your stuff is good, I buy. Never knew I'd want to support the show "Primal" until I saw it's great quality! That EU article was pretty correct I guess.

    Been a pirate since 99. If I lived in the 1800s I would have been a pirate.

      Pirates weren't really around in the 1800s, more like the 1600s

    In Germany you can legally make backups of cds, dvds and blurays that you own for the case that the disk gets lost, scratched to hell or flat out snaps in half.
    Redistribution of those copies is illegal for, hopefully, obvious reasons
