From a privacy and climate standpoint I can recommend downloading videos illegally.
1. By not paying you are not supporting capitalism, the root of all evil.
2. f you download, you only download the video once, but can watch it many times. If you stream, you download the video every time you watch it. More data traffic -> more CO2.
3. If you download it nobody can track how often you watch which video, so they can't profile and manipulate you.
@paulakreuzer @fruechtchen @switchingsoftware @resist1984 i agree with most points except 1 because yes there are lots of big corporations behind movies but there are also thousands of jobs in the industry. And just not paying for something that took a lot of effort to make seems work. Its just like if you did not pay to go watch a play at the theatre, the company might be big but the comedians still need to earn a living.
@fsnet @switchingsoftware @fruechtchen @paulakreuzer The big companies involved are affected by boycotts and sharing well before anyone at the bottom feels it. Salaries still pay out regardless of the profit margins at the top.
