I agree, west Taiwan will eventually fall back into the hands of the people in Taiwan. And the country will be whole again.

This was a decision based on him not following the rules we all need to abide by. And when you do that, there are SUPPOSED to be consequences. In fact, USA is being WAY to lenient on him.

They where using words like "purchasing", and asking just as much for the digital files as for the DVD's. If they where even available.

So it makes sense people where seeing it as "owning". And then looking puzzled when Sony decided to break into their own devices and delete files..

I have family that FINALLY see that DRM is a thing in their lives, and they DO NOT like it.

I used to have Netflix, HBO Max, Youtube Premium, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime and "Videoland". But since I used Linux, I could not stream with a higher bitrate. I could not download for offline playback, I had to jump through hoops to get things to play every now and then.

They also did not always have everything I wanted to see, or I had to pay extra for "premium early access" (Disney).

So I was fed up, learned about using multiple usenet backbones, how to send sabnzbd through VPN's, Radarr, Sonarr and Overseerr. Now I only have Netflix and Youtube Premium for my wife. And Plex for myself. And access to much more content.

And I do not consider it stealing, i consider it to be the natural result of them trying to gouge me while still not providing me.

Ok, listen can we at least agree that PVV is not "clean" when it comes to Putin? And that they are very much anti "helping Ukraine" ?

It IS! But for some people it's too much to allow that into their minds. So I try a different tactic: a little slower, so you can also get onboard with this.

Sure, but ties with Russia is not BS and not a "broke discourse", there definitely is something there. And we need more discourse about it.

At the moment, I'm ashamed, sad, and gloomy about the future. Its a proven fact that Putin is in control of this party. Which is why this party wants to stop sending f16's to Ukraine.

This is bad. Very very bad.

The heartbreaking part is that the point he is making lowers the impact because of who is saying it.
