    Your first mistake was paying for an ad supported plan

    Anyway thanks to Hollywood accounting only a few billionaires will get your money and not the people that actually worked on the movie

    Either buy the DVD or pirate the movie. Myself, I have all of the movies and the show on disc.

    I’m not from Buenos Aires, but I say kill 'em all!

      You poor bastard. The 2nd movie was bad, but the third one was bad in such a way that it couldn’t even be a “so bad it’s entertaining”. It just plain hurt to watch.

        Sure, but it had T’Pol and the original Johnny Rico, so, I couldn’t hate it. I’d have been happier if Jeri had been dragged in, but Jolene did good.

        ETA: Also, it’s a #2 in a Verhoeven-sparked trilogy. Detroit, Klendathu… same difference. Just pass me the jetpack and stand back.

      Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.

      Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.

        Early Netflix proved it too and are currently showing us what happens when the service gets worse

          Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.

      Welcome back me hearty!

      Proton VPN & QbitTorrent are the most common tools of the trade now. finding the files can be done via standard web browser; though many use TOR browser with duckduckgo as the search engine for an additional layer of anonymity.

      Hope this helps. Feel free to DM if you need any advice on setup.

        Or you/he could use USENET. A lot safer than the open seas, and the options are way higher, especially considering the retention period on some servers (I think it was 15 or 16 years on the one I’m on, Newshosting. Though, it does cost money

          I do actually have a tweaknews subscription; But still find myself browsing public torrents too.

          Old habits I guess.

    It’s a thing

    To freely distribute/ad funded distribute is a more expensive license and some media don’t offer it at all

      Starship.Troopers.1997.US.25th.Anniversary.DV-COYS

      the superior 25th steelbook anniversary release which was regraded for dolby vision and is generally considered the definitive release. Out of print, $70-$100 online given the limited supply and the demand for the best version

      They stopped printing the 25th anniversary because it was the more expensive version (steelbook) but they could’ve pressed it into the same stupid plastic case as the $15 version they keep on the market

      Piracy is ethically and morally correct against hostile corporations that refuse to provide the best quality product, or provide it temporarily then remove access to only then provide a subpar product, especially when said corporations have excessive amounts of capital.

      Also fuck amazon
