Jellyfin can be self-hosted with Radarr to automatically download shows you want to it and be streamed with Jellyfin.

Radarr is your personal fleet that will go plundered and get the booty for you while you lay in your comfy hammock drinking rum.

(You tell Radarr a movie and it will download it for you, rename it and add it to your media center automatically, also for upcoming ones. Sonarr does the same for shows, downloads the episodes once they are out.)

Glorified VLC.

Look, for me to “stream” movies to my friends using VLC I have to set up a finnicky RTSP server and get the settings right and then even then half the time it chokes on the video and the stream stops because it doesn’t like certain file types/encodes.

Jellyfin takes out all the hard work of setting up a complicated streaming service for you and your friends.

Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.

Yes, it really does come to morals.

Like, would I really feel ok supporting an industry like that? With their shitty wages, horrible copyright practices, just evil corporate practices (nepotism, extortion, sexism, etc) - not exclusive to entertaining industry, but I can def chose not to support & fuel the suffering.

I want & do pay for small studio projects, FOSS initiatives, etc.
Let’s normalise that so that such support may grow and change the world.

Long live there *arr services & their contribution to worlds culture & humanity through equality/comradeship.

If it comes down to morals, don’t pirate, boycott. If your actions can be perceived as indistinguishable from selfishness, they probably are. And the only message you’re sending is “we need to crack down more on piracy” not any actual good.

No. You sound apologetic towards shareholders.
Morals are not the same as laws, lol.
And when something is part of the everyday life like this it isn’t really the best thing to stay out of.

Also, boycotting something I wouldn’t have payed for doesn’t make sense. I don’t even understand what you mean.

And what you call selfishness is the boycott here. That takes away from the megacorps (and not from the artists).

I don’t wanna boycott people making series, I want way-too-big publishers & co to die.

unless you bring in archival, in which case piracy is actually morally good, because of how often content just fucking disappears from the market.

I have grown up with pirating. I didn’t even know that you can pay for stuff for a while lol. Yet just the other day I bought the plushie DLC for portal revolution, caz it was an amazing experience, and it was a free passion project from the fans to the fans.

Yes, I do the anti-boycotting as much as I can too.

Also bought all the games I played growing up (the ones you can buy that is).

Yep, supporting artists and not parasitic corporations is always preferable. Unfortunately, said parasitic conglomerates try to get their greedy piggy tendrils into everything they can

Yeah, it’s really hard and often impossible to support the artists that you want.

A good movie, but most of the people involved made fixed wages (no sales) whilst 90+% of the protis goes to the studio and the lead actor and director (+ credited people that never even saw the project, but you know, money favours)?
Yeah, your money vote does not go to what you want to support/sponsor.

A publisher is selling a game that it got by buying a studio & getting rid of the devs? What’s their added value? That’s just capital yields, like landlording.

There’s few things that piss me off as much as self-righteous pirates. You want to say you’re doing this out of a moral stand? Boycott. Give specifics for what union terms would be good enough for you to deign to pay people for their work. Check with the actual people in the industry for if they would prefer you pay or pirate. For every dollar you’re not paying, donate it to a union.

Or just admit you’re pirating selfishly because you can get cool stuff for free and rely on other people to fund.

yet piracy is what made the music industry be reasonable…

And netflix is what killed piracy originally…

Source?

And more importantly, did Netflix pay the creators a greater amount for the relatively little amount of money they were charging you? Was Netflix more moral because of their treatment of employees? Is that why it allegedly killed piracy?

What’s that? No? It was just convenient and cheap? I guess it is, once again, just about you not wanting to pay money for things other people make.

They’ve got no time to post because they’re busy watching all the things they want without taking on another job to pay for another dozen or so subscriptions.

I had cousins account and I found torrenting still much more convenient than having to open Netflix in the propper browser or app to play with semi-decent quality.

In my country, Netflix shows often come out later than in the US so why pay money when I can get a greater variety of shows earlier for free on other streaming sites?

Streaming is a gray area. Germany is relatively strict with torrents but on streaming, you neither own nor share it at any point
