I wonder why people would be downloading their treats for free.
What do you mean?
I mean: with food, rent and entertainment costing twice as much as it did a few years ago, people are gonna cut their superfluous expenses to make ends meet. Why pay for Netflix, Crunchyroll, Appletv, Hulu and HBO if you can pay for a VPN?
And of course I support this 100%. Entertainment is a basic human need and people should fulfill it in whatever way they can.
It's sarcasm.
Anime is a treat. Given that the economy sucks and it's not that hard to download a treat (anime) for free, isn't it obvious that ordinary people would get their treats for free?
Doubly so because copying data doesn't destroy the original. "Piracy" in the sense of media piracy is copying, not theft.
If all this piracy were running on anonymized networks like TOR or I2P, they'd have a much harder time taking down stuff and censoring it.
I say it all the time, why the piracy and all thouse nintendo emulators are not in tor???
Tor is more focused on security and privacy, so most scripts will break. Torrents don't fare well on Tor, and I can't imagine streaming will either.
Why not? You dont need scrips, just magnets to copy, that sounds secure.
I was thinking about the scripts surrounding a video player and episode management.
Over Tor a direct download might be better than torrent. I don't recall why tor is terrible for torrents, but my experience was lame in that regard.
Piracy isn't only torrenting. Speeds are better on TOR than I2P, so streaming websites could host the data and allow users to download it directly (DDL). They could also be on TOR and I2P, then provide the DDLs on TOR and torrents on I2P - the best of both worlds.
