And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg…

(And that “watch similar movies” thing can go to hell too)

ETA:

Jellyfin is great, yes.

        A friend showed me their workflow for piracy and it’s really incredible just how easy it all is. Literally just download an OVPN config from whatever VPN provider you subscribe to, connect to the VPN and search in qbittorrent (and use the link in qbittorrent to download the necessary search plugins)

        Like obviously this is a few decades of software refinement, legal battles plus a fair amount of large companies turning a blind eye to the obvious. So it’s shoulders of giants and all but it’s still kinda jarring

            Just as an fyi - people are still getting successfully sued on US soil when trackable (someone didn’t use VPN)

          If you think qbittorrent is impressive you should see someone streaming from Kodi or Stremio +Real-Debrid or some other debrid service. Its how streaming TV and movies should be.

            Open VPN config file. Basically its a text file with all of the information your client will need to know how to connect to the VPN server
