[Louis Rossmann common sense rants] Piracy is COMPLETELY justified: Louis tries NetFlix & remembers why [19:29 | Nov 15 2023]

This was a good watch. I did not watch the entire thing, but that LG data sharing is absolutely fucking nuts.

Sigh. This is kind of asinine. The DRM is there to make piracy difficult to access not impossible because we know impossible isn’t really achievable. For Rossmann to not go through Netflix’s T&S and expect an “unsupported” device to accomplish something is just a dumb setup for a video.

Remove the DRM and make it super easy to access and you’ll have Napster all over again. Unless you lived when that was going on then you have no clue the actual things that were happening vs what is said today. In the early 2000’s your average Joe Schmo would have loads of music saved on their computer because it was just easy and “free”. Today you have all these streaming services and a good amount of people choose to go with paid IPTV services instead. So the capability is there, the services are there, and yet piracy is still rampant because it’s accessible. If it were more accessible in a “free” format then more would access it that way. Every comic, knitting, etc. convention I’ve been to lately has someone selling an android media player that offers “free TV for life”. People buy them and use them. Even when the quality is garbage they will still use them because it’s “free”.
