Already downloaded 4tb of movies and shows :)
Don't forget to seed!
My average seed time is well over a year. Private trackers love me.
I even upgraded my pipe to fiber so I can share Plex with my friends and family. Built a machine with 16TBx6 RAID. Cost me a shit ton more than a year of all the streaming services but fuck them.
Yes but now you have an elephantine Silicon Schlong
Yar har lobby at me. I do what I want cuz a pirate is free.
Was talking with a friend over lunch about this. I don't mind paying for media, but the greed I'm seeing from the streaming services now makes me feel like the more ethical choice is to pirate content and just contribute directly to the arts where I can.
They're getting to the point where they think that just because they have the platform and the licenses, they can soak their customers. Only a matter of time before the ad men move in. Anyway, fuck all that
Arr!
I never left ye lady-dressin' barnacle. Leekin' forward to sail with ye to meet those corporate scallogs for some happy fightin, lootin and rapin'
