The copyright mafia should not have that kind of power that you're assuming they have. I pirate too. I don't use any legal service to watch content or listen to content. I don't have the money to do so, so I pirate. I wouldn't've paid them if I couldn't pirate, I just wouldn't consume the media. If I like an artist or a movie I'll buy their content but I usually cannot because there's no place to buy it in my small village and it's far away from cities that have DVD stores. Most people in the country pirate. And most online stores don't allow Serbia as a purchase country so... TPB here I come!
If he's in the US and doesn't say what he pirated, no one would have standing to sue him, yarr. Now matey, if he been caught pirating a specific work with otherr evidence, then a statement like this would be walkin' the legal plank.
It is, and honestly I don't even care..
It's not like I'm making any profit by sharing my library and I don't have any moral issues with torrenting. As I've said above if I do like something I buy it afterwards with the only intention of supporting the industry.
I just said this because I know for me, I don't like to publicize any potentially gray things I do, simply for the fact that I don't trust any government, rather be safe than sorry, never confess to pirating, and always use VPN's, etc.
He did also just confess to distribution though, via his Plex Server.
The gleeful attitude many have to pirating makes me sad. I've downloaded shows too, but whenever possible I use legal methods to watch. I believe it is content worth paying for, and if a show disappears from Netflix it's probably available somewhere else. It's at least worth checking before you go to your friend for Plex access.
I always appreciate the occasional poster with a gleeful attitude towards copying. I wish there were more people like him such to change the public's view on pirates.
