Australian here. Piracy websites have been "blocked" in Australia for around 10 years now. But only blocked at DNS level, so switching to any non standard ISP DNS gets past it. Also, Disney have stopped all physical media releases in Australia. All I'm saying is, I'm not paying for D+ either.

If buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing

"...steals hundreds of thousands of jobs from workers..." please. They barely pay the workers they have a livable wage. This is all about increasing returns for stock holders.

"The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates." ~Gabe Newell

It's infuriating that piracy is a conversation again. We literally solved this. Spotify and Netflix single handily killed off a large proportion of piracy, but then they got greedy and it happened all over again.

If me, a guy living in Europe, was able to see at least the last few minutes of the show live, that means that it was long.

I love the MPAA: "piracy makes us lose hundreds of job and billions of profit" US average salary: 60k Imagine each job cost another 60k in overhead 10000 jobs = 1.2 billion 10 billion = 83000 jobs The vast majority of those "billions of profit" is corporate profit going to rich people/corporations.

We didn't know how good we had it with timestamp guy. Miss him

Piracy never dies

Big thing for me is also "buy our streaming service before you get to know what we have"... Netflix do not let you know what movies or series they have streaming before you have subscribed. Even when you subscribed, there is no A-Z index. Streaming services should be forced to be transparent, and should not be allowed to geo block content.

Back in the 90's piracy was a big part of my life. Members of my lan club would each download a "chunk" of a game on our 14.4k dialup connections. Then at the weekend we would get together for a lan party and put the "chunks" together and play the game and kick each others butts for hours. Happy days long gone.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire discussion of piracy, and the VPN arguments that followed it. Also, Luke's "knife" analogy was excellent! Promoting a service does not in any way imply how that service should or would be used. LTT choosing not to sell your own killer VPN shows a level of integrity I admire, but while VPNs remain legal, I have no problem with LTT receiving sponsorship from them. You guys show far more awareness of the issues, no matter how dark, and that is something I have not seen anyone else brave or smart enough to tackle. Thanks for being you.

Good Morning Europe! 🇪🇺

Timestamp guy, we salute you in advance 🎉😊😊

segment starting at 2:31:06 hits that balance of comedy gold and dystopia that really sets my neurons off 😌

This specific Wan is why I always watch. It doesn't really matter if it is the pseudo- connection, topics, or the acting vs real... Y'all are good at what you do and I just luv it.

Youtube has started showing me membership exclusive videos, despite me not having a membership. It's an interesting advertisement idea, but it's also weird when you click on a video in your recommended and it won't play

Thanks for the shoutout 🥰

Damn, new wan show was yeeted while I was watching it lol
