ThePirateBay is not sticking ads in BitTorrented Video shows and movies no matter how little you pay



To quote Gabe Newell: Piracy is an issue of service, not price


That won't help fund the next season, or genre, or whatever you value enough to watch.

edit: I think "vote with your wallet" is the best influence for profit based entertainment, since they follow the money. Whoever is paying is who they will follow.


So if I pirate it, I won’t have to see ads on unproduced shows? Seems like a fair bargain, given the goal is to avoid the ads in the first place


Who cares? There is enough quality content out there - be it movies, shows, novels, etc - to keep someone entertained many life times.

As far as I'm concerned, we could stop making shows tomorrow and I think it would be a great improvement.
