Hollyweird has been instituting a very successful anti-piracy campaign. I must admit, the strategy is brilliant!

They produce content no one wants to pirate. I must admit, I haven't pirated anything in years. I have no plans to pirate anything in the future.

Well no shit. If you make content easily available at a reasonable price I'm willing to pay for it. If you try to overcharge like crazy or make it hard or impossible to get the content.. Ill find other ways to get the content.

I am literally trying to give people money and they make it too annoying, too hard, too on-their-terms for me to accept it.

With that said. I do buy physical media then rip it to my server. I don't want them to be able to "edit it after the fact" because "modern audiences" to ruin the original. If I "buy" anything from some service like Amazon, its only "rented" since they can remove or edit it any time they want.
