      *Especially with politicians.

    Wouldn’t things like torrenting records and “movie piracy websites” used fall under fifth amendment protections? They’re being asked to provide a record of the piracy they’ve committed.

      I thought Reddit was down to just sell data to whoever was willing to pay for it. Where do 5th amendment protections fall under that circumstance?

    The sad part is, a few years ago I gladly paid for the Disney Hulu bundle along with HBO. Now it’s all gone to shit and they never even improved the Disney Plus app. My subscription payments are long gone and I’m better off for it.

        Yeah…also coincides with said corps throwing ads on everything. Think they’d learn.

          It’s not them who should learn. It’s us. That it’s always a game of profit maximization as that’s what the system incentivises. For public companies, if something can be made worse to maximize profit extraction, it likely will be. If something can be made more expensive, it likely will be. Most companies don’t make products or serve customers. They make money for and serve their major shareholders. They know what they’re doing. We don’t.

    I get that money can be tight but to avoid such situation (at a personal level) regarding piracy. things to note.

    1. don’t talk/post about how that you pirated any media, or face potential legal risks.

    2. movies companies might not like it yet it’s not illegal to tell people how to pirate a movie. Don’t hint that you did it yourself though.

    3. Reddit doesn’t have to provide any info to them, i’m assuming the film companies wanted the scoop from Reddit for free. What if they pay Reddid? who knows…
