A recent survey reveals that nearly half of Norwegians under age 30 have no qualms about streaming or downloading movies, music, or TV shows from unofficial sources....
High costs cited as the main reason for piracy acceptance
I’ve been pirating movies and series on and off for a long time. The most recent revival was a few years back thanks to Paw Patrols availability in the country I live in. It is not on Netflix there, only on a national TV station and their app is terrible, so couldn’t give that to my kid without causing frustration.
We travelled for holidays and I wasn’t aware that Netflix had differences between the countries in what they offered to stream. Well, there Netflix had Paw Patrol. Try explaining to a 4-year old why now they can watch a series but back home it is gone.
So back home I started reading up on Jellyfin, and just pirated the whole series for my kid a few weeks down the line. Obviously no need from my end to stop there, its just so much easier than trying to jump around streaming services.
Contrast that with my recent revival of PC gaming (thanks Steam Deck!). I could easily go for pirating there too but thanks to Steam and GOG, I don’t bother. So yeah media industry. Its your own fault people do this.
