There's always BitTorrent.

If piracy actually deprived IP owners of money I’d being torrenting all day every day until they were broke lmao

It deprives them of money if people would have paid otherwise. It generally doesn't though, because most people will just pay up. If people are able to be convinced to pirate instead, they'd lose money from that effect. (It wouldn't cost them money, but it would lose them money they could have made.)

I watched avatar to spite them

The respect I can bring up for you depends on how you answer this question:

Which Avatar do you mean?

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Aang

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I should re watch the series.

Some days ago I saw something about the movie, and I'm already astonished at how bad it is. Still better than the blue weirdos though.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

You know there is an animated Aang movie ojt that got leaked? Its good I liked it.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Idk, Last Airbender is the worst movie I've ever paid money to see. I saw Avatar for free and thought it was meh, but it's still vastly more watchable than that Shyamalanian catastrophe. Like, at least the dialogue doesn't sound like it was written in crayon.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago

Probably right. It's been a while. i still laugh at the bending

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world -2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That makes no sense. What is the point you are trying to make exactly?

[–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I read it as "torrent isn't stealing, but if it was id do it even harder because those guys suck".

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 8 points 19 hours ago

Seems like the obvious interpretation, not sure how the other guy missed it
