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..

No it's just borrowing, it's temporary anyway, I recently looked at some movies on a very old harddisk and it was like DVD quality or worse. Threw the entire disk out.

I don't know if it's even borrowing, really. If you borrow my drill, I can't use it. If you torrent a movie... Like... You're seeding, and more people can use it!

It's almost like our economics models with supply and demand barely work for physical products and are even worse at modelling easily reproducible digital goods
