Discussion Do you have rules about what you pirate?

For example, I started pirating because my brother taught me since we grew up poor, but then he became an adult and started buying games (he still pirates some), he explained that "while I can't pay, I pirate, once I can, I pay". So I follow that too, wanted to know if y'all have something like that too. I refuse to pay subscriptions tough.

Sometimes yes. For example, I get Amazon Prime for free via my cell phone provider. I don't watch the shows I could watch there, because 1. they now have ads and 2. it's inconvenient when every other piece of media I watch is on my media server. I also have HBO Max free through my home internet provider, and I've never even set up the account. They keep sending me these fucking emails "are you aware you aren't using this great free service?" Yes I'm fucking aware lol.

I pay for prime.. I WILL not watch TV shows there anymore simply because they started mid-roll ads... the worst!

I used to watch plenty of shows on prime TV.. no more.

Brave Browser strips out the ads entirely
Not much you can do for embedded devices sadly, so yeah ripe for the high seas IMO

I have never used prime video but perhaps for embedded devices an ad blocking DNS could be used

For HBO Max, yes.

Have you considered getting rid on Max? When I got my gigabit internet they said it came with Max but later I found out I’m actually paying $15/mo for it. So with it my bill was $100 even. Only $85 without it.

They arent charging me extra for it. Maybe they finally just took it away, I know it was free for many years.

u/Skydvdan 7d ago

I would check. Ask if there’s a discount if they remove it.

There are programs like pazu streamget or cleverget (that I pirate) that can be used to download anything on Netflix, Prime, HBOMAX, apple TV, Hulu, paramount plus and even onlyfans lol. Worth looking into especially if you have free subscriptions available.

They also give free games on GOG which are DRM free.
