Why You Shouldn’t Resort to Illegal Downloads of Streaming Content: Ethical Considerations

This is always such quick reasoning that makes no sense.

No, I don’t agree with you. It’s okay to disagree with how a company is making money, or whether it needs money to pay its dividends to investors. But then you can’t buy the service and you can’t at all No turn to illegal downloads of their content.

Just because a company wants to make a profit and pay its investors doesn’t mean it’s suddenly allowed to download movies illegally. If you are concerned about ethics…

So why does a company “have to” do this specifically in an ethical way and a consumer is suddenly “allowed” to engage in illegal practices because he or she doesn’t agree with it how does a company make their money?

No one is forcing you to subscribe to a particular streaming service if you don’t agree with it (for whatever reason, like the price, for example, or because a company seems to have investors and that they want to make a profit). .), then you wouldn’t issue such a subscription, would you?

If a company has to be ethical, but a consumer doesn’t have to, that is of course also something that is not possible.

I’m still happy to pay 20 euros for a movie, as long as I own it afterwards and can watch it whenever I want.

You know Netflix prices for a movie are much lower than buying a single movie from a streamer? Then there are other situations as well.

The library is also bigger and there are other costs involved. So the comparison you make is very flawed. But again, you don’t have to agree with it, that’s fine, but don’t use the service and don’t engage in illegal practices, that’s what I wanted to say here.

Paying for temporary access to a file with temporary permissions is too ridiculous for words, but we all eat it like cake these days!

The desire of the average user is just different, streams are more focused on that than the person who likes to buy the rights, so that he/she can watch when it suits them until the end of time. Many people watch content just once and don’t need to watch it again, but they want something different instead, to watch something.
