      Welcome to Wrexham.

      Not the kind of guy who’d watch something from a USB. Technically not a co-worker but a former co-worker, because he retired a couple of years ago.

      I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn’t give back the USB. 🙁

        USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

        They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

        If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.

        Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

      Isn’t that too risky though? That can be an evidence when argued in the court

        If your coworkers are the level of douche bag that they might take you to court, then probably don’t even talk about your favorite show with them

          It’s not necessarily deliberate. Your coworkers could be distributing the copy to someone else and police’s gonna find out where it comes from

              I don’t know where you’re from but in my country, police are cyber-patrolling (lol) to hunt down illegal contents.

              Edit: I remember it’s a piracy community

    On the open meadows of the freeinternet,
    where the gentle breeze touches all equally,
    where the people are friends,
    and the money is spent on FOSS devs & smol gaming studios.

    When i try to explain my jellyfin/Arr setup to coworkers that ask “what site do i use to watch shows for free” it just goes right over their head or they stop listening. Even in reductionist terms. If its more work than going to a special website, searching and hitting play, they just aren’t interested.

    If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.

    If someone is aware of piracy and doesn’t care: “I don’t really know, I just got it off of a torrent site.”

    If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don’t work for: You can ignore them.

    I’m the opposite

    Them: You should check out this show I’ve been watching, it’s great. Do you have Disn-----

    Me: I can get anything online. How do you spell the name of the show? Thanks for the rec. If you need help getting anything you aren’t subscribed to let me know.
