Comment on Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about how companies have been making shitty decisions, which prompt people to move to the open-source alternatives, like what happened with Reddit, Twitter and Unity etc. However, is there a viable alternative for film-related media, beyond simply piracy? While Lemmy, Godot etc obviously have many costs, primarily servers and development, they don’t have to deal with licensing in the same way to get content. Is there an existing alternative, or do you see a way for there to ever be an existing alternative without some rich company already backing it?

Yes, it’s /c/piracy! Open source, community ran, providing free and equal access to information for all.

  Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Dear bot,
    
    Please let your masters know that they need a more intuitive way, of doing what you’ve described.
    
    Otherwise you’re going to be very busy and polluting many conversations with your repeated instructions.
    
    Thanks,
    
    A human user of your wonderful service

I buy used DVDs off eBay, sometimes from pawn shops or thrift stores.
