Is paying isn’t owning, then pirating is just borrowing.
Edit : Oops …made the is, isn’t
You’re not really taking anything from anyone. They still have it.
You could say that you took a sale from them but if the only option is to purchase, they would not get a sale from me.
If they would have, they did.
They should consider piracy free advertising!
If you’re buying merch, they probably do. In fact, I think hbo said this about game of thrones.
God! What a time that was. 6 or seven years of hype for that show and the hype died as quickly as it ended.
It’s a good show, but it seems that the last time everyone was dialed into the same show.
Funnily enough, House of Dragon was better, but the hype was way less because the book it’s based on is much less popular.
I did not care for house of the dragon. I liked game of thrones a lot, but really did not enjoy house of the dragon.
Fair. I loved the book, great pseudohistorical relation. What bugs me the most is that Martin can’t ever finish book 6 of Asoiaf, and books 4 and 5 (especially 4) were pretty weak, and he suddenly wrote something like the Fire and Blood, proving he is not burned out, just fucking lazy bum.

Having recently set sail again after a more than a decade-long hiatus, I am definitely having a much better experience. All streaming services have been booted, and my TV has been disconnected from the internet. Replaced with a mini-PC running Linux and serving Jellyfin (and Freetube for accessing YouTube ad-free). Still have an active Spotify subscription, but I am already using it a lot less than before. Will be phasing it out as my music collection becomes more complete. Purchased my first albums from Bandcamp recently - first direct purchase of music in over a decade. Bad timing with the Bandcamp acquisition though, hoping it doesn’t go tits up, and if so - here’s hoping to a good alternative to get proper ownership over DRM-free music while giving me an opportunity to pay and support those musicians I like who are not already filthy rich.
For music you could try collecting Vinyl. No DRM can take that away from you.
What do you use to torrent? Do you have any recommendations to do this safely?
TOR browser and a decent VPN.
Personally use Nord VPN but guessing from how infrequently it gets recommend by folks on lemmy I’m guessing it’s not the best.
And intellectual property is no property!

The entitlement is real. Stick to right to repair.

As I’m reading through comments posted by user you replied to, hes one of: a troll, a corporate bootlicker, or just so fucking dumb, my already smooth brain got even smoother just by reading their opinions. Anyway, I recommend blocking him

Is it entitlement to expect to get what was advertised from a service you pay for? If they advertise $x/month for 4k and you pay them $x/month and get 720p, that seems like a very legitimate complaint to me.
