Tim Heidecker, one of Sup Forums's favorite comedians, wants you to stop stealing content.
And yeah, it's not some surrealist anti-comedy ironic skit. He's serious.

shame he got cucked hard
>Will that video finally make you get a job and pay for shit, you lazy bums?
no
>wanting to get paid for your work is "getting cucked"
really weak argument
it's not our fault his broadcaster has shit distribution.
Nah.
not because of the video, check his twitter
Jokes on you, I use Utorrent.
its not our fault businesses havent found a way to make advertisers pay for torrent downloads
A very low chance of me stopping
It's been proven torrenting has NO effect on sales what so ever.
bittorrent is the protocol
>content creator doesn't want people pirating

Abolish intellectual property and get artists set up on better donation platforms. If you think nobody will pay if they don't have to, you wildly underestimate the importance of the arts in peoples' lives.
Seriously. I have to pay for Nefllix, HBO Go, fucking Amazon and godamn Hulu just to get all the content I want.
Either throw it up on Youtube or I'm going to pirate it. I pay enough.
Why would I fund an outdated business model designed to gouge ridiculous amounts of $ from consumers when the same content is easily accessible for free?
I'd argue it can genuinely help.
I don't like to use videogames as an example, but they are good here. There's a new type of anti piracy system called Denuvo, which basically kills piracy. Great, right?
Except every single game that has used it (apart from heavy hitters like FIFA that would sell anyway) has flopped. Primarily because there's no hype around it, as a lot of the people who pirate are the ones who talk about games, and build up sales through word of mouth.
>You wouldn't pirate a motorcycle
>Comments are disabled for this video
What a suprise
Yeah Tim Heidecker is a corporate shill
I think torrent actually helped him A LOT
He just doesn't realize it
>created by Steve Goldbloom
I knew I always liked Eric more for a reason.
"No."
He doesn't understand what a great difference is between the two
You cannot make free instantanous copies of a motorcycle
if you own a set of tim & eric dvds and I borrow it from you
and I watch it
Have I "stolen" the content?
Because after watching I don't need it anymore
Now what if same situation, but we live far away, and I Want to borrow from you and you tell me, hey, seinding you the DVDs over mail is impractical, so I'll just send them over the Internet as compressed files
is this still illegal and wrong?
because that's what priatebay is
>@timheidecker happy fathers day to the best dad in the world. Im sure tom cruise heidecker jr is smiling down from heaven right now
whats so cucked about this
No one needs to see triggered pirates on the comment section, also there's no disscusion to be had, he's right, you're all wrong
>wawwww wawwww how dare he call me out BAWWW BAWWW how dare he dislike that I am not paying for his work BAWWW bawww
They also buy games. I'll use myself as an example. I pirated a game called Homeworld around 2008, it became my favorite game. Seven years later they make an HD version re-release...I was first in line to buy that shit...full price...special edition...bullshit swag.
>You wouldn't torrent a TAYNE
nope nothing on his twitter
>Tim and Eric Awesome Show
>Final episode date: May 2, 2010
Pretty sure that the people who worked on awesome show were monetarily compensated for their work already
thats a fucking made up character lmao
youtube.com
I would pirate the shit out of a motorcycle if it was possible.
Yeah. I pirated Psychonauts, loved it, bought it later. I pirated Mirror's Edge, loved it, bought it later.
They're games that I wasn't sure if I'd like, but in the end I did. I wouldn't have bought them if they were just listed on a store.
I bought Xavier and Wonder Showzen DVDs after torrenting them. Wouldn't have seen the shows otherwise.
this im not gonna support some rich assholes coke habit if i cant fucking legally buy the goddamn pos anyway.
cuckdecker welp there goes any interest i had left in their shit comedy
It really is a dice roll sometimes. What if I don't like the product that I've purchased? Now it's MY JOB to fucking pawn it or put it on craigslist...taking time out of my day to rid myself of terrible content?
>because this show doesn't air where you live how about you buy the season digitally on iTunes for 30 dollars
yeah I think I'll keep torrenting
Another assmad thief. Why do they get so flustered every time they get called out?
Is there a single streaming service that streams Tim and Eric anyways?
cant tell me what to do m8
If anyone would be mad in this situation it would be the person I'm "stealing" from lmao, I'm just saving money here mate
Celebrities are liberal shits. I will continue to pirate their garbage shows until they stop pushing refugee shit and supporting candidates like shillery.
Guess i'll torrent his show now
I pay for [adult swim] via my cable subscription and have his show VOD on my box.
I am within my rights to make any and all copies of his show I want.
Don't believe me Tim? Feel free to sue me. I'd love to take it to the SCOTUS and see if they want to overturn Sony v. Betamax.
ugh just add a couple coca cola adds around and get your money there
Does he genuinely think this'll work on people? I wouldn't stop torrenting even if Obama himself asked me personally tbqh
they really needed costume designer, cinematographers and other shit for the tim & eric show?
So what they couldn't pay for those costume makers, set designers and cinematographers on their show? Oh wait they did. So if they've already been paid for their job why do I have to pay you? 99% of people get paid for their job regardless of whether or not the thing they were working on makes money, because they have salaries. It's only the people right at the top which make money based on the performance of their show/movie etc. but that's also in addition to their upfront pay. Everyone is getting paid so what's the problem?
The guy who told him he torrented it but hated it did nothing wrong. Why pay for something that you're unsure will give you your money's worth? The system is broken and can't be fixed, unless they do something crazy like letting viewers pay what they think it's worth when they stop watching.
his audience is nu-males who can be told what to do quite easily
also people who are 'fan' favorites can get away with that- essentially guilting people into paying for it. You don't need 100% to pay only a small percentage.
This model has worked for The Cuck King as well as Trailer Park Boys
>Tim Heidecker net worth: Tim Heidecker is an actor, comedian, musician, writer and director who has a net worth of $2.5 million.
I get paid to make television and I still steal it.
Suck my dick tim, you ruined comedy.
So do you only buy products from people who share your political views? When you do your food shopping, do you have to vet the store owners first to make sure they're not Democrats?
>one of Sup Forums's favorite comedians
Ah now Tim, let's not get carried away
I have never seen a single episode of Tim and Eric, and I expected to pay full price for the entire series to see if I would like it at all? Who would do that?
>So do you only buy products from people who share your political views?
If they are especially obnoxious or insulting to MY views, yes I boycott them.
>When you do your food shopping, do you have to vet the store owners first to make sure they're not Democrats?
I have two major chains in town. One is mob-owned and one is not. I choose not to shop at the mob owned supermarket.
I also don't support companies like Nestle who are bad corporate citizens.
You are a company, not a person silly but if IF YOU GONNA BE A MAN IMMA TREAT YOU LIKE A MAN
>this is my number, i have invented this number and i demand that you pay me if you want to use it.
I've bought several shows and movies after torrenting then first, Dredd for example.
If I could get what little content I watch, as fast and as high quality as torrents, for a reasonable price legally, I would gladly pay for it. As it stands now the only way to watch pretty much anything where I live is to import a DVD or a Blu-ray, when and if it comes out, at three times the price, at ten times lower the living standard.
>If they are especially obnoxious or insulting to MY views, yes I boycott them.
And if one of these companies happened to be selling a product that you couldn't get elsewhere, and you knew that you could steal it from them easily and get away with it, would you do so?
Nice try Tim.
I agree with this. Think about for a moment. Torrenting comes with a heavy price. Every single crap movie you watch costs you 90 - 120+ minutes of your life. Dont dl, dont buy, dont watch and have these pathetic coked up fuckers get a real job, or come up with stuff that is actually WORTH of your time.
>MUH MORAL HIGH GROUND
Fuck you. If something is available for free and you choose to instead spend money on it for no other reason than, "Because Hollywood doesn't get my money otherwise and tv says stealing is bad," then you are an indoctrinated fucking idiot. You think these multi-millionaires give a fuck about you? They're laughing at us all the way to the bank, I guarantee it. Fuck them, fuck you, and fuck any idiot who actually considers file sharing a form of stealing.
I do have a job, but I pirate because streaming services have shit selection. I'll gladly pay whatever Netflix charges per month when they've got the same selection as public trackers like kickass
I feel like it's a growing pain, people don't want to pay for everything but when you have money to spend on something silly generally you will give it to people you want to support, I don't want to give 2 dollars to a network but I'll give 50 to one of my favorite musicians when I don't even need to. I try to support all the media I love. I think the job has changed to advertising to the majority and monetizing the minority who really love you, plus why would I want to make the business model of 80 million dollar Adam Sandler movies stay relevant? I want all of that to die like dead animals in a ditch on fire. The industry that's treated their customers like morons are angry that they have options, fuck them. Also I can't believe anything Tim Heidecker says is genuine he is bullshitting 99% of the time
>And if one of these companies happened to be selling a product that you couldn't get elsewhere, and you knew that you could steal it from them easily and get away with it, would you do so?
Probably not because I am not interested in products I have not heard anything about and are not essential enough in my life that I go and seek them out.
As I pointed out earlier, I have adult swim and OnDemand is part of my cable package. I am well within my rights to torrent any show of his that appears on a channel I pay for.
He's not laughing at me. Every piece of shit of his I watched, I watched for free.
The only decent fucking show he and his faggot friend ever made was only good because John C. Reilly carried it.
>depriving a product of sales has NO effect on sales what so ever
dude.... whoa....
Dear Tim,
Most people who use torrents are teenagers and unemployed people in their 20s.
Torrenting is the only way they can see your stuff.
Stop sweating it. Faggot.
You know that even if Adam Sandler's films flop he still makes a huge profit through product placements alone, right?
>It's like stealing a motorcycle
holy shit this fucking argument again
>bit torrented it
Nobody fucking says that, it's the current year not 2000's.
Remember, the more you torrent, the more you destroy hollywood's leftist monopoly on ideas.
So keep torrenting.
Jack and jill is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life, if people watch that movie and still think they shouldn't illegally download things then they don't even deserve freedom
don't reply to me again
>YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A MOTORCYCLE
is he saying he supports trickle down economics
basically yes
>pay me and the higher-ups at the top of the pyramid because we'll make sure that we pay the lower-downs more as a result, trust us, no really, that's what we'll do, we swear
>the far-off future of 2020
>due to advances in printer technology, every home has a motorcycle printer that only requires electricity. Motorcycle companies are designing motorcycles and selling the designs, but some dastardly ne'er-do-wells are instead sharing the designs illegally on QubitTorrent.
>The producers quickly divide into two categories: the companies who change their business model to focus on selling maintenance and expertise, instead of profits from selling their proprietary designs. They also offer services that help users customize their motorcycles to their liking.
>The other category's chosen business model is to whine and complain about the changing market, saying it's not fair to get motorcycles for free, and fighting against windmills.
So what's the difference in paying $20 and watching it on a cable channel? Or what If I went over to a friend's house and watched it on their TV? Am I then stealing his content? If I've already seen something legally, is downloading it and watching it again illegal? How? I've already seen it and you can't take that way. Rewatching it is just experiencing it again. Data is not a finite thing. It's the most recyclable something can possibly be. Most true artists I've seen don't care how you acquire their content because it's not about making money, it's about you experiencing what they're making. I've been to so many concerts where the people say to download their stuff because they just want you to listen to it. The way things are set it, if you make something that's good and tons of people download it, you'll become lucrative if you want to be just by virtue of popularity.
Tim heidecker is clearly dead inside man, I know because I'm a comedian and it's not hard to understand when you're the same. Comedy usually comes from tragedy because it's the only way to survive it, he's not angry about torrenting he's depressed that someone exists who complains about the quality of the content he stold
Salame
well think about it as your view is only a view if it supports the work they do, you watching it at your friends is fine but you're not patronizing the show that way. People should only support the art they would be afraid of losing if they didn't
>uses utorrent
>thinks the joke is on someone else
How's that bitcoin mining for someone else coming along?
>implying trickle down economics was ever implemented EVER
>implying supply side economics doesn't work
You said "someone else" twice in your post and it really ruins the flow.
if i could get away with it, i would steal a motorcycle
>depriving a product of sales
The scumbags who torrent shit never had any intention whatsoever to buy the things in question. They're being deprived of 0 sales.
love Tim and Eric, but as a leftist faggot he should realize that some people are too poor to afford to buy every single show or film they like. he's using borderline capitalistic logic. I'm not paying for something just so someone more rich than me can get even more rich than me.
I'm not trying to be poetic here; I ain't no George Lucas.
then why are they scumbags? I want as many people as possible to enjoy my content, and I want to earn enough to survive while making it. That system still works it's just less common that you'll get disgusting Eddie Murphy money now, which in my opinion is a good thing, I only hope that it happens to the sports world because apparently every athlete who exists is a piece of shit
i never really get this argument. the only reason they had no intention to pay is because piracy is possible. they'd have no choice but buy it through legal means otherwise. piracy merely existing is depriving companies/creators of sales
>then why are they scumbags?
Oh that's for reasons completely unrelated to torrenting. You're probably all furries and into tranny porn anyway. Look at the address bar in your browser, for crying out loud.
>we like to be able to pay ppl
yeah but you also first get some jew to give you a boat load of cash on the promise that you'll "sell x-number" to the public
you're literally taking out bank loans and then complaining to us about it
go get ad revenue faggot
Tim Heidecker can suck my dick.
I already stopped torrenting a couple of months back, I still have access to everything I could get before I just have to pay for some of it.
that music
jesus christ i forget how great this guy is
Yeah I remember when they had to stop production on Game of Thrones because it was the most torrented show in existence oh no wait they're making money like mad and your argument is fucking retarded.
>Illegal downloads makes it tougher for him and his team to make more comedy.
Tim, buddy, you're not that funny to begin with so please understand that because you're not funny to begin with nobody wants to pay for your shitty unfunny comedy attempts in the first place.
Learn how to actually be funny - take roles in movies that people actually see, stop doing stupid shit on YouTube, make a real name for yourself and perhaps, maybe perhaps someday you'll earn what you're worth.
Oh, and fuck you very much.
>being a comedian
