A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.
Young people under 30
as opposed to old people under 30, like me! Still pirate though
It’s for old people over 30, like me, so we feel old.
Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.
When rich have rape sex trafficked victims this one never comes up 🤡
Well, since I don’t own what I buy, I don’t see how pirating is anything other than getting something from a cheaper distributor.
After all, how can I steal something that can’t be owned?
People are being exploited and screwed over left and right. Piracy is not even a blip on the radar.
If society was built on moral rules and honest behavior, then maybe people should feel bad about pirating. But this society? Lols.
I struggle to even see the difference from slavery on most days.
When companies treat you as a criminal even when you do try to do everything their way, it really becomes hard to care.
The way many companies act, you’d think they believe that you have to be a sucker to buy/use their own products.
Even when honest, I can approve the piracy in those days, as companies exploit everything, it acceptable for me.
You guys are saving money?
It saves a lot of money for each subscription service you can skip.
I only had to buy a VPN and a cheap mini PC as a server. And then a 1tb SSD. Then I needed to buy another 2tb. And then I had to run Ethernet upstairs for it since the WiFi card couldn’t keep up. Then I had to upgrade the router to support the new gigabit cabling…
Eh, well, at least I get to keep something out of it.
Yeah, I’m going for a bit more storage, currently sitting at 108TB. The price of my home server could pay for around 75 years of Netflix.
Selection is probably better though
Selection is probably better though
You mean at Netflix? Maybe, but only temporarily. If I’m missing a piece of media I want I’ll simply download it and add it to my server. And contrary to Netflix once it’s on my server it’ll stay there.
No selection on your server is probably better…at least for your taste.
Yep, roughly $400 a week.
I run lean, dude. You don’t want my life.
If it’s about the hobby, the low end is what an old laptop and a crap hard drive? Cycle out new releases as they come and go.
I could set someone up with Jellyfin and a full arr suite for $50.
Yep, roughly $400 a week.
Huh? How? Were you subscribed to every single streaming service that existed?
If you only leech and you’re not a hoarder, it really doesn’t require much. For most people there’s not really any need to store every single piece of media they’ve ever consumed or hope to consume…some day…maybe. Or setup tools to automate their uncontrollable hoarding.
Oh God this is going to become the new “clearing away all grandpa’s old Playboys and VHS tapes and newspapers,” isn’t it?
That figure’s come down significantly since the age of vikings though
“Saving money by” vs “making money by”
“A penny saved is a penny earned!”
- Benji FA penny pillaged is a penny earned
Are… Ummm… Is this flirting? Can’t it instead be “A penny taken bowling and then for ice cream” instead of going straight to pillaging?
well, before that and for generations, banks printing money was an acceptable way of governments to make rich people richer and all others poorer, so i can fully accept that stealing was learned from govs and the richies there. change how “the successfull” accomplish their successes and you can teach the kids how to live without stealing, keep abuse by gov and richies as is and all the theft is done exactly as ordered by govs and richies, no matter the age.
Those are rookie numbers, you’ve got to pump those up.
