Online piracy in the EU is increasing for the first time in years, driven by a lack of legal alternatives and income inequality.

I was fine when it was just Netflix and Hulu. Corporate greed pulling their content to get their own piece of the pie en masse made me hoist the flag and join the Kodi Real-Debrid gang.

Fuck the shows, too. That money goes to Ticketbastard. Buy their merch, directly if possible.

If my card was working a couple weeks ago, I totally would have supported a small local band by buying on of the $10 CDs they were selling.

Yeah, big shows are a pain in the ass anyway. I rather meant small shows by local hosts.

Oh, absolutely. But even most small shows are done through Ticketbastard these days, unless it’s like some backyard or county fair type thing.
