Agreed. Orange is a startup…and a manga Netflix wannabe. It’s a marketing piece dressed up as won’t someone think about how people can have access to the content they want.

“I think anime started this manga appetite globally; however, I think that we’re still at the very early phase; that global populations” means oh I can make tons of money by exploring this.

Scooby and shaggy don’t need to be called for this one. We don’t have a piracy problem. We have a lordship problem.

I have been using to box for almost a year. It can be slow to load on stremio and sometimes disappear for a day or so.

I actually preferred real debrid historically, until they started to get all moralistic.

What do they think people pay them for?

Anyone remember trying to copy the spectrum games on tapes. Not sure if that counts as piracy.

As the consoles get locked down it is logic video game piracy might spike.

So many people have been happy to pay…pity that wasn’t enough for the corps.

If the author has passed/sold the rights to a distributor then is reproducing it via an alternative method a detriment to the author?

They are are the ones agreeing to reproduction. If the author is the sole owner they reserve the right to recreate and distribute themselves. Modern day media has many owners of the process…who all seek rent from you to listen/watch. Who would you pay?

Have you seen Heretic? In some of the scenes Hugh Grants character explores the idea of originality and uses music to do that. If an song is inspired by another song does that mean you have to pay towards the original song?

You could spend forever rationalising who deserves payment. That’s why we entrusted distributors to put a product in front of us based on value of that product.

That’s a really good point, you are not stealing the core product, its a reproduction, and one that you are invited to rent, rather than own. Interpretation is key.

By the same thinking we reproduce and consume other things - words, memes, recipes and don’t consider that stealing.

My stance on the ethics of piracy is - the procurement of something is based on what is a fair value. If that commodity is available via several routes I will always play fair. If the provider tries to extort that commodity past fair then I will look to another provider - If you had a toll road that saved you 5 mins and charged $1 fair, if they then start to charge £25 - I will revert to the back roads, is that considered immoral?

Is it not easier to ask the regional businesses if they have website/rss/newsletters? And point out meta are gonna be forcing you to compromise your privacy. Places will soon look at when their userbases shrink.

Above is true. You did things the right way and it is still not enough.

Be jolly!

There’s always an idiot not happy enough to just get what they need, instead has to get greedy and profit from it. To then advertise it is pretty stupid.

Yeh been increasingly problematic for the last few months. Cleared cache and reset etc but lately i am getting a lot more - no streams found.
I have tried realdebrid that got fussy when I used more than one device. Alldebrid I was getting lots of denied access errors or your debrid link is not valid.

I am currently in torbox. It had its moments but it’s ok.
