    Remember when Netflix used Silverlight? Couldn’t get it to work on linux back in the day.

    Anyways, I don’t think this makes piracy completely justified. It just means the best user experience for desktop, or for super privacy related folks, is not supported by netflix. It was a weird self defeating ending to say at the end if it’s on netflix only, it’s just not worth watching, but also say it’s justifiable to pirate.

    I think there’s a weird sense of irony in being both pro piracy and pro sag aftra. Although they didn’t win big, their payout is directly tied to streaming metrics. Piracy instead of streaming is going to screw them.
