Not enjoying this new trend of removing content. Hopefully will be available to purchase.
anyone that torrented it still has a copy ๐
I try to support the content I love. Not commenting on others actions but I do not sail the high seas. But I do think that modern content ownership is grey and we are going to be getting into issues where content is not available anywhere legally.
It's worse than grey. It doesn't exist unless you hold physical media in your hand.
It almost seems like Paramount's execs want you to pirate their content. The other thing that frustrates me that they've been doing is sending PC users extremely low-quality streams just to spite anybody who payed to view their content instead of torrenting it. I guess the line of thought is that this will make it harder for pirates to capture HD-quality streams, but that's not stopping them so all it does is make it so that the pirates are the only ones who can watch it in HD on a PC.
Not sure if they fixed this but there was also a problem with episodes randomly missing back in the CBS All-Access days. I especially remember Menagerie and Cage were mysteriously gone when they released that episode of Discovery where they revisit Talos IV.
I'm rambling but my point is that CBS/Paramount's stupid myopic decisions only drive people to torrent sites because the version that you download is a far superior product to what they're streaming.
Supporting content is noble and I do commend you for your intentions.
Yet, I can't shake the feeling that supporting streaming services is more of an encouragement for the companies to wave cool creations in front of you then immediately snatch it away again.
You can support it by buying physical or digital copies as well.
By the same token you can not support business practices. When my term is up I will cancel p+ and just buy the shows i want to watch instead.
The blu-rays of Prodigy seem to be out of stock in a lot of the usual places. Are they taking those out of print as well?
I've been re-stocking up on physical media for this exact reason. DVDs are like $1 per movie if you know where to look.
