Considering how much Paramount+ is charging- $11.99/mo for no ads- when they have a fraction of the content of, for example, Peacock, which costs the same… I don’t blame anyone for pirating Star Trek shows at this point.
And, of course, on top of that, Star Trek is spread across multiple streaming services and you would have to subscribe to them all and spend a ton of money if you wanted to watch it all.
Most Star Trek is on Paramount+. But if you want to watch Prodigy? You need Netflix. Want to watch the TOS and TNG movies? You need Max. But hey, you can watch JJ “Trek” on Paramount+ instead of First Contact or Wrath of Khan. If you really want to.
Oh no I know you didn’t mean me, no worries. I was just curious. I’ve heard this said but I’ve also heard this said for months. Things going well so far.
r/piracy still survives to this day, so I very very highly doubt that. The police don’t care about people consuming pirated media or discussing it, they want to catch the people making the cracks
I think it would be very difficult to shut down a federated community and probably not worth it.
Even though these media companies do prosecute pirates on occasion, I have believe for a long time that they actually don’t have the problem with piracy their PR teams make it sound like they have.
After all, piracy drives up publicity for a show with people beyond pirates because the pirates will watch the show and, theoretically, talk about why they like it on places like Reddit or Lemmy. Which would result in increased revenue for them.
The pirates were not going to buy anyway and everyone else is going to be encouraged by the pirates talking up the show. And the companies must know that, which is why Lemmy piracy instances will be fine and why the only pirates they usually prosecute are the ones serving a huge number of files.
Come sail the high seas, matey

The admins and mods of that instance are 100% going to prison or getting heavily fined. Stay away or at least access it via Tor.
And why would that be?
Illegal activity (not you, the piracy instance)

What I predict is that it will slowly grow and then at some point it will get shutdown. It might be 6 months or it might be 6 years. Its hard to say.

Reddit has a dedicated legal team. Do you? Its just a matter of time before it gets shutdown.
