Just here to remind everyone while piracy is important, it's also very important to teach the less tech savy among your acquaintances how to pirate too. Conglomerates only learn when their bottom line is effected after all, so teach all your friends how to hoist that black flag.

I considering piracy after Netflix came out. Does it have ads yet.

Edit: wow, that’s not what I meant to type. I haven’t considered piracy since Netflix became a thing. And so far, I haven’t seen any ads on that service. Still finding plenty to watch on that in my spare time as well. Currently enjoying Fall of the House of Usher, the live action One-Piece, and a Supertroopers like show called Tacoma FD.

IF you go down that route, there needs to be a warning: Do it properly, use a VPN if you are torrenting, get a usenet account if you want fast speeds that encrypts the connection and so on - basically, teach it correct. Because some countries or rather law agencies WILL hunt you down if they even get some hint of your actual IP-Address...

Or they send a DMCA to your ISP, and then your ISP gives you 3 warnings and a boot. VPN is the way.

As I ironically, read the article, ads kept appearing over text.

And it's a heave-ho-hi-ho, comin' down the Bay

Stealin' films and movies and all the other games

And it's a ho-hey-hi-hey, corpos bar your doors

When you see the Jolly Roger on Francisco's mighty shores!

Well, you'd think the local corpos would know that I'm at large

But just the other day I found an unprotected RAR

I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser

I copied their film and shared it, and screwed the advertisers

Beautiful take on the Arrogant Worms classic! <3

Thanks! It's one of my favourite songs, though I usually prefer the Captain Tractor version, heh
