LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

I'm torn. I think everybody should fight back the predatory practices of the entertainment industry. But the more mainstream the piracy practices become, the more crackdown there's gonna be, and the more of a hassle it's gonna be to find pirated content.

If enough people pirate, there will be popular support for reforming copyright, so eventually there's less crackdown

The corpos will get rid of copyright when it becomes inconvenient. Like when they want to use copywritten data to train AI models.
