    I’m in the EU. I was anti-piracy in the past. It took Trump’s threats to our territory for me to stop paying any streaming services and actively engage in piracy. Now the money goes to the seedbox hosts outside the US instead of disney or netflix. I also started using ad-blocker for youtube instead of paying. I don’t think this is fair towards the content creators but i just can’t bring myself to give the US companies any money unless i absolutely have to. I will keep doing this until the US changes its laws/constitution to disallow someone like Trump from threatening their allies, oh and plus until they apologise and promise not to do it again.
    Not only will i not give them money, i will aim to cause them economical harm.

      Hopefully you realize the error of your ways and the vast damage done by the violent control of free information. The hegemonic narrative around “ownership” serves capitalism, not humanity.
