Why is the content ubiquitously pirated if it’s legal and totally acceptable in NK?

I could imagine someone unfamiliar with America saying “weed is ubiquitous and nobody gives a shit”, but that’d be a massive oversimplification given we have a metric fuckton of people in prison for nonviolent drug offenses.

Could it not be the case that in NK that pirating and watching foreign media is both extremely common and against the law/lands people in prison?

And if that is the case, then even if this one case happens to be fabricated, there’s likely a ton of cases where people are actually imprisoned for breaking the law, since that’s usually how breaking laws goes. I don’t think it should be against the law to watch foreign media.

This is speculation, but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say South Korea refuses to license media to the DPRK so they literally have no other choice but to pirate it. Like if you tried to obtain a PS1 game in the West right now, Sony isn’t selling the vast majority of them any longer so your best bet is to download it from a ROM site.

Thanks for at least giving a plausible explanation instead of tightening your asshole and throwing insults because someone suggested that there might be a flaw with the mighty DPRK like the other commenter who responded to me.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
