Congrats, Sup Forums
You have just destroyed the film industry with your piracy. There's nothing but the lowest kind of entertainment being made now. Kino is extinct.
How do you feel now?

Fine

Piracy is fucking dead though. And not everyone wants a russian coin miner either.

I am perfectly fine with the film industry collapsing. Its run by a bunch of kikes in hollywood who want to shove feminist and leftist nonsense in to every part of every movie they make.
I literally do not give a single fuck about the film industry.
Charles Kelly
It's called evolution. Technology has progressed such that digital filmmaking is no longer profitable.
The era of playwrights came and went, as did the era of opera, and now film, it seems. Another form of entertainment will pick up the slack if these guys don't.

Guess what, conservative films tank too. There's not as many, but if the industry goes, they're gone too, user. What will you come to Sup Forums for then?
Thomas Parker

Politics in movies, (even politics I agree with), need to fuck off.

Dylan Campbell
Cool. Maybe movies will be so shit by then that people will start picking up their own cameras and making movies for the art of it instead of the profit. By then (((they))) will have a different money making scheme. Or they will just make chinese movies since they get executed for piracy. Or maybe they will focus on the theater-going experience to sell their movies, and theaters won't sell popcorn for 8 dollars a handful. Fuck movies
Kevin Hill
How ever did they survive before home video became a thing?
Thomas Collins
They were made on the cheap and were script driven instead of effects driven. Piracy will make kino great again
Robert Gomez
Wherever ease of access improves and prices drop (Netflix - subscription model with large number of shows/films) piracy drops too.
$15, or even $50 a month for 2/3 subscription services is absolutely nothing for anyone with a job.
James Thompson
>$15, or even $50 a month for 2/3 subscription services is absolutely nothing for anyone with a job.
Even with a job. Why pay this when the same shit is a click away?
Do you people just like giving your money away?

It is about convenience. But having a wall of content that you can scroll through and (legally) view for very little money is exactly what your average consumer wants. Piracy increases when they get too expensive, or content is split between too many. Right now they have the right balance to convince most people to pay rather than pirate. Because I'm not a deluded neet? I pirate myself
William Thomas
..yes i see but he said he doesn't care strictly because it's run by leftists, which i find silly. also, i vote republican :^) >Politics in movies, (even politics I agree with), need to fuck off.

You have a point. Spotify literally killed music piracy where I'm from, but I doubt it will ever happen with movies/tv. You already see Netflix making their own content.

Torrents have zero impact on movies. Literally none at all. The people who torrent movies were never going to go and see those movies in the theater in the first place.
I go for the theater experience, and yet I torrent shit I would never be caught dead seeing in the theater.

Good. Movies will have to be pre-financed by the likes of kike-starter which will increase the direct control people have over content and increase the number of niche movies produced instead of this one size fits all tactic Hollyjew is employing.
Owen Sanchez
This. Hope it won't take until 2040 though.

hah, in 2040 the internet will be so regulated that normies will only have real access to about 5000 main sites, the rest you will have to tunnel into through ToR or something similar.

regulated by whom?
Ian Brown
ISPs collaborating with whatever content providers. FAST TRACK shit.
Justin Bailey
Hollywood is dying. Film making is not dying.
Once the (((industry))) is dead we can finally enjoy a slew of independent films made by artists with a vision, like Die Hard, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Deadpool.
Evan Wilson
search engine algorithms etc. where do you think normies go to find stuff?
take a count of how many unique web pages(discounting blogs and clickbait article websites) you have visited in the past year, the answer might surprise you.
Cooper Gomez
I don't care, I still have millions of movies already released that I can download and watch anytime I want. I never understood why people feel they can only watch new things and not old ones that haven't seen.

The studios are too greedy. Band under one platform and charge a reasonable price per episode/movie and people would be more open to paying
Gabriel Barnes
awesome

99% of the slop that gets produced is utter garbage that you wouldn't want to watch more than once anyway.
The few films I actually have enjoyed in the recent years, I actually went to the cineplex to enjoy before torrenting.

we could literally live all our lives watching public domain movies
Jayden Parker
There will never be another movie to go into the public domain.
Samuel Butler
then again it's pretty clear the users don't acknowledge any authority to stop them from pirating and there's no enforcement. Maybe everything is public domain.
Colton Campbell
piracy is like 2 percent of loses, the most films loses when it comes to money is advertising budgets 5.99 million was spend on marketing the god awful mess transformers the last knight image if they spent that on good writers or just fired bay
Nicholas Johnson
Why are americans so cucked? I'm paying 5 euros a month for 50/10 internet. Could go up to 250/50 for 15 euros but this is already more than I need.

How so? what happens when copyright expires?
Austin White
Copyrights have been extended every 30-50 years to protect disney IP. Copyrights may never expire ever again.
Ryan Hill
God you type with the voice of a raging faggot. It's pathetic.

It costs a fraction of what it used to cost to make a movie now.

True master race.
Brayden Williams
netflix will start going under, get bought out by some big conglomorate for its brand. They'll push the brand for another 10-15 years and by then it'll be a drag and they'll fuck with their image until its unrecognizable and gets retired.
Tyler Cox
>5.99 million was spend on marketing the god awful mess transformers the last knight
Hate to break it to you, but a medium sized movie can spend upwards of 40 million on Advertising, a large movie can double that. Transformers would have spent close to 80 mil on Advertising alone as marketing is costly as fuck now.
It's one of the reasons why a costly movie can make serious bank, yet still fall short and be considered a flop. The amount they spend on advertising is costing about 1/2 that of what they spent on the film itself.
Kevin Evans
That's a nice prediction.
>kikes keep making shit, so I pirate >kikes get no shekels >kikes decide to stop making shit, and go back to making good, well thought-out, creative content
See, I can do it too.
John Williams
Or just get a VPN, it's a lot cheaper.
Leo Gomez
You need halfway decent CPU usage for video transcoding for plex for example.
Also I use the server to host a couple of websites and a couple game servers as well, so I dont mind paying a bit more and getting 16gb ram and stuff.
Austin Morgan
VPN is still better, cheaper in the long run too. Christ you can get 2 years from NordVPN for $75, and it's no logging, encrypted, has onion nodes, and allows multi connections.
Ryan Moore
Depends on how you're using it. VPNs give you pretty shit CPU and RAM most of the time and not customizable enough for my taste.
I am at a constant usage of about 8GB ram or so with all the stuff I run on my server.
Getting 4TB space, 16gb ram and a good processor you know you're using only for yourself at all times is worth the price difference to me.
Nathan Ramirez
What? A VPN doesn't give you shit other than a locational IP. You don't get ram or a CPU out it. It just allows you to use a different IP. That way you don't get letters from your ISP because they can no longer tell what you're downloading.
Lincoln Barnes
Exactly, a VPN and a dedi server are two completely different things, so why would a VPN be an alternative to a proper dedicated server.
Justin Powell
Because it's cheaper, and accomplishes the same end goals. Watching shit without getting in shit.
Easton Jackson
>accomplishes the same end goals
Not really, if I need to run game servers and websites 24/7, and not host anything on my pc at all. Otherwise I'd have to leave my pc running to be able to watch stuff on plex on my TV either way.
Colton Martinez
>that's what butthurt actually believe
cry more
Thomas Jackson
>Otherwise I'd have to leave my pc running to be able to watch stuff on plex on my TV either way.
Not to mention if you're hosting Plex for your whole family your connection would go to shit whenever your asshole little brother feels like watching some shit show and everyone would be leeching off your CPU at all times.
Running plex on your own pc would be pretty shit, dont listen to VPN goy.
David Cook
What kind of shitty computer do you have? I only have an i7 and 16 gig of ram and can easily have someone watch a show off my computer while I'm also watching a show or playing a game.
Michael Nguyen
The problem is he'd have to always be running 8gb+ ram of game servers and other hosting software on top of what you may run for yourself and having to be sure you never ever restart your PC, plus people will make you lag because of have 20+ people playing on servers plus family watching shows and so on. Plus having all those programs open at all times is simply annoying.
Its fine if you dont need a dedi personally bruv, but its extremely more convenient not to have to depend on your PC at all, and 20 bucks a month for all that isnt too bad.
