Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!
Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)
Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.
I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it'll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.
Let's go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.
Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.
Generally I agree. But I'd be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.
Dude, for that sum you could pay people pirating and servicing it for you 😁
That's what I do
The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.
