    Not to be disrespectful but you can skip to 5:32 if you don’t need to justify piracy to yourself.

      Those aren’t pirated copies, those are… lawfully encoded… 4k bluray rips… I made myself… to back up the uh, lawful copies I purchased at MSRP! That’s right!

          Yeah lol. When I we first got wired internet at home (about 15 years ago), the speeds weren’t good. It averaged around 120 KBPS for browsing the internet. But the guy installing the connection told me that torrents went up to 10 MBPS easily, and he wasn’t lying. Before that, I didn’t understand that torrent worked in a fundamentally different way compared to direct downloads.

          It was in India. I won’t be surprised if the situation is still similar. (I mean the attitude towards piracy. The speeds are pretty good nowadays.)

          Which is honestly their job, their entire corporate existence! My engineer friend would get mad at all the ISPs for every single thing they did that was not related to the service. “Why are they spending time and money lobbying!?” “Why are they paying to put apps on my phone!?” “Why are they treating different types of content differently, their entire purpose is to be a pipe of connectivity!” And you know what? He’s right…
