i had a similar scenario with comic books, i wanted to read the comics of cassandra cain (one of the batgirls of the early 2000's) DC made a regular series of her in 2001 but it was never sold in my country or anyother than in US or Canada (i live in Argentina, am also pretty sure it was never translated to other languages aside from english) the only way i was able to read it was by pirated scans of the books that where also translated by fans, therefore when Warner/DC cries about how no one today reads comics i remember this experience and told them to go suck it.
man, ma place where I live in a nintendo console is around 1000-5000 (from wii/the ds' to nintendo switch) it's so damn expensive and I'm not even counting the outher consoles but for an example: I never played in a nintendo console neither a nintendo game (only mario world or mario 64 in an emulator or something)

I recently pirated a software that was bought legitimely at my workplace. But so heaviliy bugged that only by pirating it was I able to use it. And guess what made it so unusable and unreliable in a pro environnement ? Anti-piracy measures.
Word of advise, pirate music, movies and books only since they are only for entertainment. If you need a software for work, you better get the real thing.

Piracy won't die, because games keep dying. Digital only games keep disappearing from stores, and the only course of action is piracy. Or classic games that you cannot purchase anywhere.
There's so many games now that you don't need to worry about the few missing from the store. Even if you have no life, you're not going to play them all.
@@ericstaples7220 Not everywhere, if you live at the US or Canada it may be a lot easier to find an old console and the games on a fine condition so you can actually play the game but it will be hard if you need to fix something, the controlers can break and it will be harder to get another one. Some places like Brazil you will have a hard time playing last gen games, there are basicaly no original ps2 games anywhere and that was the only console some people ever had here and i know it is not even the worst case scenario because there are places even worse for this situation. Also emulators have a lot of features that can give you a better experience, most of the older games i ever played i did with an emulator. It just hurts so much sometimes not being able to do something because you don't have the resources to buy it or didn't live in a time it was easier to get.
Somewhat. The other thing that makes piracy more popular is when companies pull bullshit cards related DRM. Netflix and android widevine is an example, along with HDCP shit.
Piracy is not illegal in certain country and you can not make illegal something and people can share... I deal with all legal issue to the point i just used to dealing with it...
Wow, never thought about it. Personally I think that if the quality of artistic content (music, movies etc) is high, people will buy the legal version too because they are fans and want the vinyl, the blu ray dvd, they want to collect because they care and piracy is a wonderful tool for underground artist. I discovered my fav bands and movies because someone uploaded their content illegally on youtube (when it didn't have the ads). I you make a wonderful videogame, people will want the collectors' edition. But they won't pay 70 bucks for a game they don't know they will like or they don't know if their pc will run it. Of course if you are an artist that makes stupid hit songs, movies and games etc, people won't really get affectionate and they won't waste money on that. In fact because of piracy the music industry so concentrated on money rather than quality was failing in 2008 before Spotify. For arts, I think piracy is the best thing ever.
@Matthew Henry wow, you must be the intellectual one in the company. My "novel" would be just 10 lines in Word. Anyway you're not forced to read it so I don't see the problem. You can go back to minecraft videos.
nick n you could make the case that streaming services encourage low quality content to be created though, since they’re so accessible and cheap that even the trash makes money. The sense of ownership and coveting is completely gone with streamed content unlike collectors addition games or vinyl too. But I agree with you fully that piracy increases competition with then in turn increases the quality of the content.
exeterra they don’t have a right to entertain you. They do it because it’s profitable. And they have to pay millions of dollars to produce that content so you have no right to consume it

@@ernies8828 This has zero to do with communism, and nothing needs to be free. People simply want convenience. Most people don't want to subscribe to tons of streaming services, because they don't care about most of their content, and it is inconvenient to keep switching between them all the time. That is why people choose piracy, because that way there is only one single platform that you need to sign up to, and you can find everything in one single place. The fact that you don't need to pay or you pay less is just the top of the cake. That is why steam used to be an awesome thing. One platform with all the games you can imagine. Now you have to download steam, origin, uplay and epic store, just to cover the basics. That is why people choose piracy, not because of the price. Or at least a pretty big percentage of them.

I remember when the dev of hotline miami actually patched the pirated versions of the game and mentioned that he thinks people enjoying the game and being a fan of it is far better than losing money he just wanted people to enjoy the game
I actually pirated Both hotline miami's to try it out. Absolutely loved it. I bought both of the games, completed both of them, even bought another copy for my brother. I always pirate games as a trial version (pirating games with no demos only, or too short demos) and if i feel like the 40 bucks is worth it, then i'll buy it. If i like the game, then i will support the devs. Some people just can't buy a game at all. Especially teenagers without credit cards. Most of them, pirate games because if they will ask their parents to buy them Mortal Kombat X for example, then the parents will know it's too brutal. It's a matter of three. Privacy, being broke and inflation in your country is ridicolous, so you have to save money for food. And remeber to never pirate from indie devs. It's pretty rude. Most of indie game prices are low, and those devs probably need the money. Big companies already got Millions of dollars. So be balanced about it, and if you can afford a game you like, just buy it.
Might not take that long , we can print out guns and all kinds of stuff right now , so i say it isn't that far into the future where we can print out usable car parts then assemble the thing and drive it off.Give 20 years tops i say.
Could you imagine if people could simply download cars? You'd see thousands of cars just cluttering everything. Traffic is already bad as it is, you'd get quite a weird global crisis since your average person could download a new car every day.
Good thing this hasn't happened to games.. I only have to worry about Steam, Origin, Ubisoft, GOG, EPIC, That MS game pass thing, My humble Bundle subscription.. and umm.. probably something else I'm forgetting.
@@DEFkon001Personally, I buy on Steam and pirate the rest (if possible), but, the digital distribution of games is really different from the video stream service. On one you buy a license for an undetermined amount of time... in the later, you need to feed a constant subscription fee to have access on the content available. Now, the videogame market is trying to implement a subscription model. And to be honest, I don't know if it will stick. The videogame subscription service is already suffering from the same problem the video stream service (too many subscriptions) right out of the gate.
I hate service fragmentation but it's pretty unfair to expect a business to compete with something that is totally free, IMO the natural conclusion of piracy being unopposed would be that eventually pirate services will be better than paying for things in every way (same way that Linux is better than many commercial systems for many things), with the consequence of eliminating revenue for artistic works. In practice all the owners of these services already know that fragmentation will net them less customers between piracy and just loss of interest, but they've probably calculated that the earnings are still better than giving Netflix a cut of everything.
Yeahhhh, i made an effort not to pirate for the last 5-6 years (since i got a job) and my library balooned to 400 steam games, now i was waiting to get MW5 mercenaries, i was excited. Well seems like piracy is back on the menu, because if the devs dont give a rats ass about my conviniance, i sure as hell dont give a rats ass about them getting money, they can take that up with the managment that decided to go EPIC :). Epic, when ur service is so bad it puts damn piracy back on the menu, arghhhh.
I love how the most popular anti-piracy quote since the 90s is “You wouldn’t download a car!” Um, you can speak for yourself but if I could download a car, I would’ve done so a long time ago.
"In general, we think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." -Gabe Newell How right you are gaben!
People in developing countries will always pirate due to the difference in buying power and currency exchange to developed countries, as well as availability.
I can't afford an application that is cheap for other countries but very expensive when it comes to my country due to the currency difference. That's why I resort to piracy. I have no choice.
Thats why steam prices in developing countries are much lower. I'm in Russia and I can buy $60 games for what would be $20. During sales, it gets even better. Considering how widespread piracy is in Russia, and the economic underdevelopment, this is the only way for them to make any money ;) I still pirate movies and series tho, since Netflix and similar services have stupid region locking and don't lower prices for poorer countries
@St. Petersberg China is considered a developing country, and it is more developed than Russia. They have higher average wages, better infrastructure, etc... While Russia may not be 3rd world Africa, but average (monthly) salary being around $600 is very low compared to first world countries (and China), and in some regions the average salary is $300.

@@CCP-Lies To be fair, you can blame the companies for not releasing their video games out to more countries, and not restricting gamers for region-lock. I guarantee you, without piracy, entertainment industry would be fading into obscurity. Plus, copyright laws are not even implemented in these countries, so that's why many pirated websites will never go away or get taken down, because the owners of these sites are setting up their own servers in countries that barely implement any copyright and piracy laws. I live in the US currently, but I've grown up in a country where literally every teenager learned how to pirate video game copies and sell them to local marketplaces for CRAZY cheap (I'm talking just a few cents). Let's not forget about jailbreaking consoles. Here in the US, a $60 game might not sound like much, but in other countries, it feels surreal. On top of that, subscriptions for streaming services are crazy expensive, which leaves accessing movies from pirated websites as the only option for billions of people, really.
Every one of them wanna have a piece of the cake, so the customers must go to every store to get one cake or just go tho the black marked to get one for less

At this point they need to collaborate. Create a platform owned by all of them that you use and they get a cut of your subscription based on how much you watched their stuff or a set percentage. It's how companies do for monthly passes on transportation that involves multiple operators in a metro area so you don't have to buy 10 different monthly passes. This problem has been solved years ago by a different industry and while it's a different industry I think this solution would be a good fit. Cable was also basically this. They need to either create a cable for subscriptions or allow someone to.
Why Piracy will never die? Some reasons: -Overpriced services -Region Locked services -Violations of consumer trust -Overwhelmingly negative reviews -Uncertainty if you could refund it -Epic Games Store Edit: 1500+ likes. Thanks guys! Hope the crews are sailing the digital seas in peace.

I prefer the $15+ to be in my pocket and not theirs. I dropped Netflix last year when they had to take off American dad, most of family guy, Bob's burgers and futurama. My toddler loved watching boj amongst other things and they took those off too so there was no point in paying them if they were taking off stuff my household was watching

This video is speaking the truth. Most people are perfectly fine obtaining things through legal means as long as it's reasonable. The moment that doesn't happen, piracy will happen more frequently. The RIAA learned that the hard way.
Netflix and Spotify is getting more and more expensive by the day with less content..if it continues I'll probably have to cut Netflix and go full on pirate mode like good ol 2010
I haven't paid for Netflix since they were a DVD only service and I've gotten by fine enough. I also haven't had cable in about 5 years. I also haven't paid for any other services, but I always have all of the content I want and often in better quality than streamers offer. There's no benefit to streaming. Come over to the dark side! LOL :-)
Yes and with more and more streamers joining in to get all the content you want became expensive . The massive rise in piracy followed the expense of cable ,so when netflix hit big time piracy shrunk an ENORMOUS amount. now its going back to cable levels as will the piracy .
I've been using Spotify Free for years and I'm fine with the ads, not to mention songs are actually skippable on PC where I use it more often than on mobile. So, I kinda saved a lot of money just on Spotify. I haven't subscribed to Netflix though but I might be in the future.
its their own fault, literally every big media company is coming with their own streaming or gaming platform... its rediculous and remind me of the video game crash of 1982! for me it feels like they are forcing me to cancel the subscriptions and go back to pirating
Piracy wont die because of what big companies expect people to pay for products. Game in particular has become a stigma of a industry with the introduction of DLC.
@Stinz Maynard Piracy is an essential tool in balancing corporate and customer needs. Let's be fair, while it'd be great to have free entertainment, that's just not feasible. Corporations like Disney on the other hand, that bring in huge profits... Well, let's say I won't buy Disney plus.
If enough shows are fragmented by region a VPN might be useful. But then again, a $100/yr sub for A VPN adds to that monthly, which isn't too bad though at $8 more a month. And then you have services like Crunchyroll that not only try to ban VPN IP's to other regions but sometimes doesn't work at the workplace or if you're military overseas. Frankly Crunchyroll should be losing a lot of potential users from this. I just hope Netflix and others don't become too hostile to VPNs too. At the end of the day they're trying not to get sued, but telling me I can't use it at work or school with a VPN even when I'm still in the same region is frustrating AF.
Why piracy will never die? Well in some parts of the world $100 would be considered a decent monthly wage So buying a AAA game would mean spending more than half of your monthly wage on a single goddam game that you'd complete in a day or two
@Sagaris Studio well, yes and no. because steam reduce price if you leave in poor country. so yeah, it's better to live in a rich country, but it's not because you get 3x more money that games that you will pay will loks like it's cost less. but if you work in US and have conversion to poor country currency... now it become interresting
@sleepy I think you mean the wages are lower in your country? Almost everything costs more money in first world countries. First world countries have higher salary rates, but also higher taxes, and higher costs of living. So even if you moved to the UK or US, you won't be better off there, you'd still live the same way you did. And don't even get me started on tax havens like Switzerland and Monaco. Only multimillionaires live there.
From China. I dare say that piracy is popular in my country, for the copyright protectors have been depressing customers. So my products are always free and open-sourced, even if I can't make a living from my products
To be honest, I only ever pirated when I was younger and in college where I didn't have a lot of money. Now that I make a good income I don't mind paying for my media. However, I'm not going to pay for $10-$15 each 10 different streaming services. I have Netflix and Hulu now, and likely dropping Netflix soon. The whole point of "cutting the cord" was to reduce the cost and eliminate paying for stuff I never watched. It seems like its actually more expensive now if you want the same catalogue as what you would get from a cable service.
My biggest problem with this is that new services always just get launched in the US and then take ages to come to Europe, country by country. They'll just pull their content from Netflix and then wait for over a year before they start offering it themselves. They don't really leave the people here much of a choice...
Or in Australia they just sign a contract with someone like Stan or Foxtel and never bring their service here. Thus paying more money for an inferior service.

i had a similar scenario with comic books, i wanted to read the comics of cassandra cain (one of the batgirls of the early 2000's) DC made a regular series of her in 2001 but it was never sold in my country or anyother than in US or Canada (i live in Argentina, am also pretty sure it was never translated to other languages aside from english) the only way i was able to read it was by pirated scans of the books that where also translated by fans, therefore when Warner/DC cries about how no one today reads comics i remember this experience and told them to go suck it.

Some places like Brazil you will have a hard time playing last gen games, there are basicaly no original ps2 games anywhere and that was the only console some people ever had here and i know it is not even the worst case scenario because there are places even worse for this situation.
Also emulators have a lot of features that can give you a better experience, most of the older games i ever played i did with an emulator. It just hurts so much sometimes not being able to do something because you don't have the resources to buy it or didn't live in a time it was easier to get.

Piracy is literally the only thing keeping monolithic companies from controlling all of our entertainment and holding all of us within their grasp
Wow, never thought about it. Personally I think that if the quality of artistic content (music, movies etc) is high, people will buy the legal version too because they are fans and want the vinyl, the blu ray dvd, they want to collect because they care and piracy is a wonderful tool for underground artist. I discovered my fav bands and movies because someone uploaded their content illegally on youtube (when it didn't have the ads). I you make a wonderful videogame, people will want the collectors' edition. But they won't pay 70 bucks for a game they don't know they will like or they don't know if their pc will run it. Of course if you are an artist that makes stupid hit songs, movies and games etc, people won't really get affectionate and they won't waste money on that. In fact because of piracy the music industry so concentrated on money rather than quality was failing in 2008 before Spotify. For arts, I think piracy is the best thing ever.
@Matthew Henry wow, you must be the intellectual one in the company. My "novel" would be just 10 lines in Word. Anyway you're not forced to read it so I don't see the problem. You can go back to minecraft videos.
nick n you could make the case that streaming services encourage low quality content to be created though, since they’re so accessible and cheap that even the trash makes money. The sense of ownership and coveting is completely gone with streamed content unlike collectors addition games or vinyl too. But I agree with you fully that piracy increases competition with then in turn increases the quality of the content.

@@ernies8828 This has zero to do with communism, and nothing needs to be free. People simply want convenience. Most people don't want to subscribe to tons of streaming services, because they don't care about most of their content, and it is inconvenient to keep switching between them all the time. That is why people choose piracy, because that way there is only one single platform that you need to sign up to, and you can find everything in one single place. The fact that you don't need to pay or you pay less is just the top of the cake. That is why steam used to be an awesome thing. One platform with all the games you can imagine.

I actually pirated Both hotline miami's to try it out. Absolutely loved it. I bought both of the games, completed both of them, even bought another copy for my brother. I always pirate games as a trial version (pirating games with no demos only, or too short demos) and if i feel like the 40 bucks is worth it, then i'll buy it. If i like the game, then i will support the devs. Some people just can't buy a game at all. Especially teenagers without credit cards. Most of them, pirate games because if they will ask their parents to buy them Mortal Kombat X for example, then the parents will know it's too brutal. It's a matter of three. Privacy, being broke and inflation in your country is ridicolous, so you have to save money for food. And remeber to never pirate from indie devs. It's pretty rude. Most of indie game prices are low, and those devs probably need the money. Big companies already got Millions of dollars. So be balanced about it, and if you can afford a game you like, just buy it.

To beat piracy, one must offer a something better. Fragmentation of services is not something better.
Good thing this hasn't happened to games.. I only have to worry about Steam, Origin, Ubisoft, GOG, EPIC, That MS game pass thing, My humble Bundle subscription.. and umm.. probably something else I'm forgetting.
DEFkon001 Apple Arcade and Google Stadia incoming.
@@DEFkon001Personally, I buy on Steam and pirate the rest (if possible), but, the digital distribution of games is really different from the video stream service. On one you buy a license for an undetermined amount of time... in the later, you need to feed a constant subscription fee to have access on the content available.
Now, the videogame market is trying to implement a subscription model. And to be honest, I don't know if it will stick. The videogame subscription service is already suffering from the same problem the video stream service (too many subscriptions) right out of the gate.
Epic Games exclusive lul
I hate service fragmentation but it's pretty unfair to expect a business to compete with something that is totally free, IMO the natural conclusion of piracy being unopposed would be that eventually pirate services will be better than paying for things in every way (same way that Linux is better than many commercial systems for many things), with the consequence of eliminating revenue for artistic works. In practice all the owners of these services already know that fragmentation will net them less customers between piracy and just loss of interest, but they've probably calculated that the earnings are still better than giving Netflix a cut of everything.
This is so on point! Convenience kills piracy, and currently piracy is the more convenient option (or so I've heard).

Thats why steam prices in developing countries are much lower. I'm in Russia and I can buy $60 games for what would be $20. During sales, it gets even better. Considering how widespread piracy is in Russia, and the economic underdevelopment, this is the only way for them to make any money ;)

@@CCP-Lies yes fuck devs
@@CCP-Lies To be fair, you can blame the companies for not releasing their video games out to more countries, and not restricting gamers for region-lock. I guarantee you, without piracy, entertainment industry would be fading into obscurity. Plus, copyright laws are not even implemented in these countries, so that's why many pirated websites will never go away or get taken down, because the owners of these sites are setting up their own servers in countries that barely implement any copyright and piracy laws. I live in the US currently, but I've grown up in a country where literally every teenager learned how to pirate video game copies and sell them to local marketplaces for CRAZY cheap (I'm talking just a few cents). Let's not forget about jailbreaking consoles.
Here in the US, a $60 game might not sound like much, but in other countries, it feels surreal. On top of that, subscriptions for streaming services are crazy expensive, which leaves accessing movies from pirated websites as the only option for billions of people, really.

@@Tobnosh Ain't even less, it's literally for free.
@@Tobnosh yeah the main reason why streaming sites lowered piracy was through convenience at a low cost and it was moral. With all these new streaming sites, convenience is gone and having multiple increase price. So now the morals are the main thing holding a lot of people back.
I'd call it more greed than competition lol Competition is normally a good thing. But what is going on now is only driving up costs of streaming services.
At this point they need to collaborate. Create a platform owned by all of them that you use and they get a cut of your subscription based on how much you watched their stuff or a set percentage. It's how companies do for monthly passes on transportation that involves multiple operators in a metro area so you don't have to buy 10 different monthly passes. This problem has been solved years ago by a different industry and while it's a different industry I think this solution would be a good fit.
Cable was also basically this. They need to either create a cable for subscriptions or allow someone to.
As someone from eastern Europe I have no idea why someone would subscribe to Netflix or other such things when you have torrent sites

There is a lot of people that if they can wait and get it for free the will prefer it than buying it. Why buy samething for 60 dollars when it has a day one crack? The only thing holding you is your morals.
I dont doubt that they are many people that otherwise wouldnt buy the game, but they are aslo a lot that prefer to get it for free, even if they can afford it.

This video is speaking the truth. Most people are perfectly fine obtaining things through legal means as long as it's reasonable. The moment that doesn't happen, piracy will happen more frequently. The RIAA learned that the hard way.
Netflix and Spotify is getting more and more expensive by the day with less content..if it continues I'll probably have to cut Netflix and go full on pirate mode like good ol 2010
I haven't paid for Netflix since they were a DVD only service and I've gotten by fine enough. I also haven't had cable in about 5 years. I also haven't paid for any other services, but I always have all of the content I want and often in better quality than streamers offer. There's no benefit to streaming. Come over to the dark side! LOL :-)
Who needs Netflix when you’ve got Plex/Kodi/Jellyfin
Yes and with more and more streamers joining in to get all the content you want became expensive . The massive rise in piracy followed the expense of cable ,so when netflix hit big time piracy shrunk an ENORMOUS amount. now its going back to cable levels as will the piracy .
I've been using Spotify Free for years and I'm fine with the ads, not to mention songs are actually skippable on PC where I use it more often than on mobile.
So, I kinda saved a lot of money just on Spotify. I haven't subscribed to Netflix though but I might be in the future.

I am very sorry you can't watch it.
I know what that feels like.....
If enough shows are fragmented by region a VPN might be useful. But then again, a $100/yr sub for A VPN adds to that monthly, which isn't too bad though at $8 more a month. And then you have services like Crunchyroll that not only try to ban VPN IP's to other regions but sometimes doesn't work at the workplace or if you're military overseas. Frankly Crunchyroll should be losing a lot of potential users from this. I just hope Netflix and others don't become too hostile to VPNs too. At the end of the day they're trying not to get sued, but telling me I can't use it at work or school with a VPN even when I'm still in the same region is frustrating AF.

Well in some parts of the world $100 would be considered a decent monthly wage
So buying a AAA game would mean spending more than half of your monthly wage on a single goddam game that you'd complete in a day or two
@Sagaris Studio well, yes and no. because steam reduce price if you leave in poor country. so yeah, it's better to live in a rich country, but it's not because you get 3x more money that games that you will pay will loks like it's cost less. but if you work in US and have conversion to poor country currency... now it become interresting
@sleepy I think you mean the wages are lower in your country? Almost everything costs more money in first world countries.
First world countries have higher salary rates, but also higher taxes, and higher costs of living. So even if you moved to the UK or US, you won't be better off there, you'd still live the same way you did.
And don't even get me started on tax havens like Switzerland and Monaco. Only multimillionaires live there.
@sleepy Ouch, I feel you. My country's currency has inflated by 50% against the USD since the 2010s.
New games here (70$) is like a third of the minimum wage
@Just Another Guy I'd rather spend that on hookers, cocaine and a 1993 Toyota MR2 turbo.

Hello brother i’m arab But i live in sweden
To be honest, I only ever pirated when I was younger and in college where I didn't have a lot of money. Now that I make a good income I don't mind paying for my media.
However, I'm not going to pay for $10-$15 each 10 different streaming services. I have Netflix and Hulu now, and likely dropping Netflix soon. The whole point of "cutting the cord" was to reduce the cost and eliminate paying for stuff I never watched. It seems like its actually more expensive now if you want the same catalogue as what you would get from a cable service.
I pay for Directv and I only watch like 3 or 4 channels all the time.
My biggest problem with this is that new services always just get launched in the US and then take ages to come to Europe, country by country.
They'll just pull their content from Netflix and then wait for over a year before they start offering it themselves. They don't really leave the people here much of a choice...
Or in Australia they just sign a contract with someone like Stan or Foxtel and never bring their service here.
Thus paying more money for an inferior service.
