    “The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services”

    They used the basic tools that most(?) pirates use today like sonarr and radar??

    I don’t mind people pirating…i do mind people pirating and profiting from redistribution.

      Guessing they used Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, maybe an NZB client…

      Would you look at that, I’m sophisticated now.

      redistribution = service?

      Why would they work for free?

      Not gonna pretend like this aint illegal but i don’t cry over some IP owners losing money… EVER, fuck 'em

        Oh I don’t care that the IP owner don’t get money.

        IDK, I just don’t like the ethics of pirating media for profit, the entire idea is that it should be accessible to everyone, not just those with money. Cover your operational cost? Sure…Making millions in subscriptions? That is an asshole move IMO. If you’re paying, you might as well pay the people who are making the media in the first place instead of some rando that had nothing to do with it.

          All fair points.

          I think the issue is that IP owners are mega corps, ie people who made the content don’t own it and can’t provide it anyway.
