People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

I actually find the new serialised Trek's less rewatchable than the episodic ones because I can't really just go 'oh i liked that episode, i'll watch it', i pretty much have to commit to rewatching a whole season instead if i want to rewatch.

And If you're Very familiar with the material it wouldn't matter, but i Haven't sat around watching these seasons a bunch of times Because it's much harder to pick one out and watch it.

This isn't a critique, it's a personal preference, but I am 90% more likely to end up rewatching Voyager, or SNW, or whatever, just because I can for the most part just put whatever episode on whenever I want and not have to worry about not being able to remember an entire season's worth of plot off the top of my head for it to make sense.

#trek shit #i Have rewatched whole seasons of episodic trek before but not very often #i'm not good at rewatching stuff #i get bored of the same thing Very Quickly and need variety #so being next to no random separate eps i can just watch it Not good for me
