Movie Industry: VPNs and Tor Pose a Threat to Legitimate Streaming Platforms

Comparing it cable is unfair. At least cable worked properly with my television unlike the HDCP infested upgrade nightmare that streaming turned into.

I started just pirating the content I was subscribed to because it was easier. Then they made it harder with all the fragmentation so I stopped paying for it full stop.

Movie industry has to do the leg work to get my attention and that is very fragile. They choose not to so no cash from me.

I find a lot of pirate services don't really serve the 4k market that well. The vast majority of it is 1080p. Do you just use 1080p or 4k in your piracy adventures? Is the new thing not bittorrent?

1080p and bittorrent. That's it. I honestly don't have the eyesight or a large enough screen that 4k makes a difference for me.
