      While I Don't pirate movies (because I Don't watch many) there have been countless times I was thinking of pirating a game on PC, but realised it had a switch counterpart. Because of the unique nature of the switch and how refreshing it is to play portably, I spent $60 when I could have got it for free, completely agree.

      I can say pirating is fine as long as you pay a reasonable amount into the industry you pirate from, say maybe you love movies and already buy $300 of movies a year but need to pirate the rest. Or maybe you pirate stuff you can’t buy anymore. But if you pirate just to save money and don’t put money into that industry then you are bad.
      As for Linus saying you’d deserve a free high def upgrade, I say it should be a fee. Like if you have it then your digital copy can be upgraded for $1-5. Otherwise there is less incentives for a remaster. Some will buy it but what about something like lord of the rings. Most anybody who will buy it already has so free upgrades would not make much money.

    Piracy is honestly mostly the fault of distributors. Look at music for example. Almost nobody pirates music anymore because it's so easy to purchase and buy whenever you want.
    Yet when you want to watch a film, you have to be subscribed to god knows how many services to get full access to everything you want at once.
    That's ignoring obscure films you'd never get to see otherwise or films that you can only see on some nasty compressed streaming service.

    "In general, we think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the U.S. release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customers use or by creating uncertainty."

    One of the reasons Microsoft has been the OS and Office software leader for three decades is that they really don't put much DRM on their products even though they could. Brand and product familiarity is what keeps them in 80% or more of personal computers. You might be pirating Windows, but you're still using Windows, and when you DO eventually pay for an OS one way or another, it will more likely be Windows.

      @@andrewhughes4924 I'd prefer the annual pass model as it better suits destiny's dlc model. In an ideal world, of course everything should be obtainable via normal play, of course this isn't realistic though. That being said, the season pass model just feels like an unnecessary addition, it's like a mini dlc.
      What pissed me off the most was when they add all the new seasonal content and make it feel like it's available for everyone, but then have practicallu every interesting bit of that season have the "you need to have the season pass to use this" slapped onto it.

    The Expanse is an example of a show that I loved so much, but couldn't get easy access to - it wasn't streaming on any platform as new episodes, as far as I can remember there either wasn't a SyFy streaming app or The Expanse couldn't be watched on it, and while I do have some sort of live TV cable package bundled with my internet, there was no world where I was watching the show live on TV with ads. But, I adored the show in season 1, bought all the novels and fell even more in love, and bought each season on Google Play for $20? $30? because I wanted to directly support them. I re-watch the whole show before a new season airs, so it has definitely been a worthwhile purchase. And like Linus says, I feel good about the fact that I've supported the show far more than anyone who watched live on TV or streamed it from Amazon or Netflix a year after airing.

    The VFX shots were recorded on film, each shot consisted out of multiple passes. So they had to scan multiple rolls of film, clean the scanned images and then composit everything together just to get the VFX shot.
    Then they had to scan all the film of the actors (the entire show was shot on film), clean every scanned picture, color correct and then compsit everything together.

    Not sure if I agree with getting remastered versions when you purchased an original version 5+ years ago type situation because remastering takes extra work for upscaling, etc, depending on the quality of the original film.
    Now, current movies that are shot and edited in 4k+ is a different story. It's ridiculous to even bother selling the different resolutions of digital copies for different prices or even bother selling the different resolutions. Often the movies I go to purchase, all resolutions are the same price, but why would you bother buying anything other than the highest quality?!

    One of my biggest pet peeves is you can walk into a shop looking to purchase you favorite new show on physical media. Problem is they only have it available on DVD as in never got a blu-ray / 4K blu-ray release. This problem is exacerbated when you can go on iTunes / Amazon Prime / Netflix and watch that very same show in HD or 4K. What's even worse is when a show gets the first season or two released on Blu-ray but then the rest don't get released or only get released on DVD.
    A prime example of this is the fact that I own the show Seinfeld on DVD and currently there is no better release available physically. However I can go on Hulu (soon to be Netflix) and watch the entire series in HD. Never mind the cropping / aspect ratio issues as that's neither here nor there and has nothing to do with my point.
    To boil it down, the powers that be, be it studios or whoever, insist on putting up all these "barriers" that make it difficult for me to simply enjoy things in a manner most convenient to me. That said I'm not expressly condoning piracy but I can understand why some people do it.

    In my country it is completely legal to rip a blu ray and to stream it within household circles.

    Been a pirate since 99. If I lived in the 1800s I would have been a pirate.

      Pirates weren't really around in the 1800s, more like the 1600s

    In Australia once you buy music. You own it forever and can change the formats as you like.

    ripping a cd, dvd, blu-ray, floppy, cassette, lp/vinyl or a cartridge is also so that you can keep using them those will die or rot

    20:00 Even though I have adblock turned on, I usually click sponsored links when they are available. Heck, I've even purchased stuff at a discount through those links.
