    I loved Severance, but it’s honestly so bad that I won’t be watching season 3.

    I would never advocate for piracy.

      I would. Piracy is a service issue. Make streaming things easy to consume and with minimal frustrations for the users and piracy will diminish greatly.

        But but but but piracy is illegal! If something is illegal that means it’s immoral! And vice versa of course.

          Just for conversation:

          If you set aside legality. Do you feel you have the right to access other people’s creative work? Do you draw a line anywhere?

            As a general rule, no I don’t, but when it comes to productions by huge conglomerates like Apple, Netflix, Disney, etc I really wouldn’t shed a tear, especially if I was in the situation that I couldn’t access something due to technical issues even if I’d paid for it.

            I would never pirate indie content – whether movies, games or otherwise – or books though, and even with the “big name” content I’ll often pay for it afterwards if at all possible if I actually like it. Unfortunately legally acquiring especially even slightly media is often a real pain in the ass nowadays, thanks to region locks and all that bullshit.

            Edit: as a note, I do still have an active Apple TV subscription. although I’ve canceled it
