It’s crazy how little the younger generation knows about torrenting. With my younger brothwr and his friend we couldn’t find a movie in any of the streaming services and I told them I would download it in less than 5 minutes, they didn’t understand how that was possible but were impressed when I did it. We need to keep the art alive

Hilariously, if the corporations could have curtailed their greed for a few more years - piracy could have sufficiently reduced in popularity and need to the point that it would have largely become a ‘lost art’.

Alas, chasing ever higher returns because “line must go up” is just introducing a new generation to these old tried and true methods.

Not generational, that’s niche stuff. The basic issue is exactly the same from 30 years ago.

Probably right, I just felt like there were more people that were at least aware of it
