>Netflix killed piracy worldwide
The problem with Netflix in Europe (and I assume in South/Central America) is that the selection is vastly inferior to what is offered in the USA.
People might pay for Netflix outside of the USA if the selection is decent. But the selection will never be equal to what is offered in the USA. And even is the selection was the same, Netflix doesn't have *every* show.
People are still going to download. And content providers have spent too much time carving up the planet into regions...they aren't going to throw that away anytime soon.
>>51464371
Get off of /g/ you retarded motherfucker
>>51464371
Piracy is going to happen, has Netflix and other streaming services put a dent in it? Yeah. Will it kill it? No.
Viruses, oh yeah cause a lot of people will seed bad files. Jail time? Not unless you are a major provider to other people pirating.

>Netflix in Canada has shit-all for content
>Canadian Netflix ceo spends all his free time crying on twitter that people are "stealing" content though American accounts or pirating anyway
Netflix is shit, and it still isn't as good as piracy.
That being said, normies that can't set up a torrent client probably find netflix to be a better solution.If they are choosing netflix over piracy because of this, we were right all along, if there was an easier way to get quality content than netflix, people will pay.
>>51464320
>be Netflix
>be unavailable
>>51465459
I would definitely be willing to pay a small reasonable monthly fee if it meant not having to torrent and the content had no botnet or retarded adverts
I was busy filling my drives with transparent 1080p encodes from my favorite trackers.
>>51464320
Here in Japan netflix is shit.
But we don't pirate anyway.
Because, well, we're not thiefs.
>download emby, sonarr and deluge
wew was that so difficult
>>51465651
Good thing piracy isn't stealing then.
Netflix didn't kill piracy. Torrent did.
>>51465809
torrent is a godsend compared to direct downloads
>>51464320
>netflix
>requiring a net connection

When I can download a movie and use the file on any device at any time without a net connection, piracy will die.
>>51464320
nah, I still pirate TV show they don't have. I refuse to use that ad ridden pile of garbage known as hulu.
>>51464320
>piracy turns out to be a problem of convenience rather than just stealing
Who would have thought that. Oh right every defender of piracy ever
>>51465831
Do you just flippantly not pay your internet bill or some shit? Why is this an issue in 2015
>>51465927
>quality reliant on your download speed and consistency
americans are so bizarre
even fucking canadian netflix is lacking in comparison to the american version, what makes you think any other country would have a good selection to choose from?
>>51465927
don't want to spend money on additional data to watch something on my phone during a commute to work as an urban example

>he doesn't pirate his tv shows

normie scum detected
A service like netflix with every show would be good, but that's near impossible.
Still, I'm happy to pay for netflix.
>>51465974
did you mean to reply to someone or are you just saying in genereal?
I know the american ones suck because the last 10 things Ive tried to watch were not on the american netflix (and some I know use to be)
BUT they were all on the foreign netflixes.
just a few examples right off the top of my head, all of the stargates, all of the pirates of the caribbean, better call saul, the dictator, 300, interstellar, enders game, and the new season of archer.
the american one doesnt have any of that shit, netflix wants to bitch about people pirating.. if they would stop only adding movies from ancient times and start adding new ones then people might be more inclined to use their services.
>netflix: an american company neglecting americans and favoriting foreigners..
netflix go fuck yourself.

what's the difference?
>>51465984
You are supposed to watch the road when you drive o.o
>>51466057
just saying it in general
i wish netflix just had the same content across the board is all
>>51466068
i take a bus, a train into the city, and then another bus to get to work
>>51466077
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to drive? o.o
>>51466014
>posting the redditfrog
>>51466089
i don't have a car
it's also a lot easier to just get off the train instead of finding and paying for a parking spot
>>51466094
So get a 3ds and play that movies and TV shows on a bus sounds uncomfortable o.o
I like netflix.
>>51466104
or just pirate like any reasonable person would do
>>51466104
how is that uncomfortable in any way? i pull out my phone, open up MX Player, and i'm watching a show in 2 seconds.
>>51466124
I mean o guess if your fine at people constantly being nosey pieces of shit then more power to you I'd get pissed if someone was trying to watch MY phone with THEIR filthy eyeballs
>>51466171
no one ever does that to me
i'd also rather them watch me watch tv than watch me play videogames
>>51466059

It's a slur, the official term is copyright infringement.
>Nevertheless, copyright holders, industry representatives, and legislators have long characterized copyright infringement as piracy or theft – language which some U.S. courts now regard as pejorative or otherwise contentious

How are you going to use netflix on a 12 hour flight?
>>51466257
>it's a slur

>>51466210
It's a slur but the user picked up the name for themselves and made it their own
>>51466270
Slurs aren't equal you niggerfaggot.
It's used to damage reputation more than "copyright infringement" would.

This. Netflix just arrived in my country, I tried it in the first free month but in the end I decided not to use it and go back to... Well piracy. And sky. They do have a good number of contents, probably better than the counterpart but it's still not what it should be, I don't want to watch the few show you are proposing me, I want those shows I heard about or those i'm watching. Also, silverlight is terrible on Firefox and they decided not to give APIs so there aren't 3rd party apps and I can't see it on my kodi based mediacenters.
At this moment in Italy the best option if you are interested in TV series and movies is Sky and its integration with Sky ondemand. Let's see if Netflix will be better.
>>51464545

Wait, how is using a VPN to watch american Netflix stealing?
Daily reminder to start investing into Netflix
>>51467583
Because of content rights, which might be owned by another company in your territory. You're stealing from the local distributor of that content in their minds, because you'd be paying them instead of Netflix in the US to watch it.
Geoblocking is the reason why piracy will never die, so long may these fuckwads continue to think that way.

That's not really their fault. Sure they took ages to expand to Australia but the media here took it as a threat and jumped to grab streaming rights for their own shit service.
Netflix catalog is shit in my country.
Some AAA Hollywood productions. Most of the movies are mediocre shit.
Netflix isn't even that good. The UI is fucking awful like it's a shit app layout and the player controls are nowhere near precise or useful. You can't even see the minutes you're on, only how much time is left. Free streaming sites have better controls.

>"If you offer good content at low prices and rapidly - releasing series in the same moment in Brazil as people are getting them in the US - that makes piracy less enticing," says Mr Friedland.
This should be common sense (hence why music piracy is not a huge issue anymore thanks to all the streaming services), but jews are going to jew.

Burgerclap here. US Netflix sucks. Aside from a few cornerstone movies that everyone has seen, it's TV series, or 1-2 star bombs that are laughable. I searched for sci-fi yesterday and gf and I could only agree on "Paycheck" starring Ben Affleck. You want to see one of the worst movies ever, see that one.
I spend 45 minutes browsing via the app, or using search websites such as instawatcher. Unless you want some subtitled foreign piece of shit, or an SJW indie, you're stuck with Taken part 9, return of the taken.
>>51465618
