"If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing." And for a great illustration of the complexity of our current situation, see this videogamedunkey video: [VIDEO]

Yep. This video is played for laughs but I was shocked to learn how much of it was true and not just satire: [VIDEO] Content being fragmented and constantly coming and going is a massive problem for users. Netflix used to be the go-to to find just about any given show or film, but has become a mystery box where the contents change on a near-daily basis. Piracy is reliable and simple instead, and works like Netflix used to: Just search up what you want to watch and you're golden. It has been and always will be a service problem.

Just like some times we use the "obligatory XKCD" around here, this time it applies more a funny "obligatory Dunkey" :) [VIDEO]
