Piracy is definitely not in its heyday anymore. Lemmy talks big about piracy going up but I've yet to meet someone in person who's went back to piracy. Most people just jump between streaming platforms every other month.

Ah yes, it's fine down because YOU haven't happened to meet anyone who pirates. As of I'd ever pay for streaming platforms lol. I have 18tb+ of media on my plex server

Same argument can be said in reverse to you though right? Also you didn't have to brag about your size ;p

I've met many who know how to torrent shit. It's not rocket science.

[โ€“] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never said it was rocket science or that people don't know how to torrent. That's very common knowledge I feel. I used to torrent all the time, still do in some small circumstances like getting older stuff that's not available to stream anywhere and whatnot. I also know loads that know how to torrent too, doesn't mean they all pirate just cause of that knowledge.
