I've never once paid for a streaming account and never will. We live in a golden era of media, and with KZread alone, including videos such as this one, I have more than enough content to consume. In Canada, the Digital Locks Act means that owning Copyrighted or "locked" material is legal, but reproducing it is not. Families who share Netflix accounts don't distribute the content, but rather, Netflix themselves do. So in Canada, Netflix requiring additional payment for a previously free feature may be illegal, and I think Canadians could actually sue Netflix for it.

I remember the reason Netflix became popular to begin with, and some zoomers won't remember it because it was _that_ long ago, but people did not like the way that they were being nickel and dimed by cable and satellite TV channel packages back in the day, so they largely resorted to piracy. Here netflix comes along, and provides a service so cheap, so convenient, so consistent, that piracy rates dropped hard and was so useful that it literally murdered physical rental stores. I mean, why would you need rental stores, you could just mail order what you want to rent, watch it, and then send it back when you were ready. Talking about netflix today feels like I'm talking about an entirely different service than the one that killed rental stores like hollywood video and blockbuster back in the day. I feel like they need to get humbled and remember their roots with a reminder of why they were successful to begin with by losing massive amounts of money for trying to pull this shit.

That's why Steam panders to Russia so much that they are willing to sell their and others' games for a tiniest fraction of the price just so the Russians don't pirate everything into oblivion. It's not a virtue, what Valve is doing is simply trying to milk Russians as much as they can. However they had to comply with the big gayming companies requesting that all their games that were sold could not be downloaded again by Russians. An example of such games are the Halo MCC and Halo Infinite. Too bad for them I already downloaded MCC and I will not delete it any time soon because I have tons of storage (every Russian does for obvious reasons). So the credibility of Steam has too gone down the shitter in Russia. No one really cares about any other service either. And I hate the antichrist

I'm not defending Netflix but in South america we take advantage of anything, no exceptions: some middle-poor communities and neighborhoods buy only one account and share it among neighbors, creating schedules and among those who share each one would pay one month, so for example if you had 12 people you only had to pay 1 month and you would have netflix practically 1 year for your house following the rules. one account could be shared by more than 20+ houses so I think that's why netflix started thisin LATAM.

Another piece of trivia is that, as of 2019, Chile was still in The USA's "black list" of piracy (along the likes of Algeria, Argentina, China, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Russia, Saudi Arabia , Ukraine and Venezuela), so it's quite likely that this move from Netflix will remind everyone of our national file sharing hobby.

See 47 U.S. Code § 542. So when cable companies abuse their monopoly power, the state/municipality benefits. This is also why it was hard for Google to get government support, because with competition often comes cheaper prices.

Whole idea of streaming services was to provide cheap and easy access to a lot more content, and that had an impact on torrenting levels at the beginning. But since they started splitting into thousands of different streaming services, all that was lost. These services don't do what they were supposed to do anymore and its time to ditch them.

Streaming services really shit the bed once every company decided they wanted to launch their own platforms. The great thing about torrents is you never have to worry about licensing rights expiring and the content becoming unavailable.

When 95% of the content is lazily made or pure copy pasta because creators are running out of ideas or whatever, guess who is not going to pay a subscription. Since the beginning of netflix, I have watched 2!!! shows that are on it. Fck this shit show.

i also hate google for changing their tos, and unifying gmail, gdrive and google photos (auto sync was on by default but i didn't care because sd photos didn't take up any space until recently) and now i'm unable to get new emails unless i start deleting 5-6 yr old photos

a user on tumblr i think had a great take on this, and they basically said that sharing passwords isn't actually hurting their profits, or causing them to lose money, password sharing just makes their potential profits smaller, so it's not like passowrd sharing costs the company money, thye just want to make more and more money ffs

Honestly, I wish piracy remains niche for the time being. Or companies will start cracking down on it hard in some way or the other if enough people are using it (even though the decentralized nature of it prevents such a thing......I'm sure companies can somehow or the other convince the public it is evil or something). Also people with moral superiority complexes might try to stop us.

Tormenting online or just p2p file sharing is the very first digital immortal being nothing can stop it... all you need is the .torrent file and the torrent application will find all of the file parts all over the internet from other PCs just look at the piratebay or YTS or all the modern torrent sites that learned from piratebay ... no files are on the internet so as long as you have the back up of the original site with all those torrents lists ... I bet those files can still be downloaded....so the only thing you can so is seeeeeeddd.

how about instead of cancelling netflix we just silently keep using piratebay? why do we have to yell and blow our cover as pirates?

I agree with this video.. Iv never paid for a service to get content, it's fragmentation of multiple services to watch what you want is ridiculous too.

As a Chilean, adding insulto to injury, this is on top of the new "taxes on online services" wich targeted specifically Netflix's and the likes of. So yeah, the hashtag #chaonetflix (#byeNetflix) is already wreaking havock in every single online forum/social network. All at a time in which cost of like is going up significantly due to multiple factors. For example, the bread and butter of Chileans is (no pun intended) bread and Netflix. What I mean by this is not only we watch a lot of Netflix, but we are like world champions on bread consumption. Since bread's core is flour, and Ukraine being one of the "mills of the wolrd", war hit hard on chilean pockets. So if you add the online service taxes, the new sharing fee, rising prices due to war, inflation, and so on and so forth, at first those extra bucks a month only sound like that, a couple of extra bucks... But once you start to add up... Yikes! Rgds from LATAM 🇨🇱

I think the most ethical, simple way for netflix to handle this would be either a hard cap on consecutive streaming devices. Ex. you pay a certain amount for 2 consecutive devices, more for 3. If you want to share, you can, but it'll get annoying. But it's simple, clear to the user what will happen, and with minimal stalking required. Of course, they'd never do this when they have an excuse to track you more.
