  Oh boy, looks like we’ve got ourselves a swashbuckling pirate in the comment section! Avast ye, matey, 'cause I’m about to drop some knowledge bombs on your scurvy-ridden ship. Here’s why pirating the Fallout TV show is about as cool as a ghoul’s armpit.

  First off, let’s get real: pirating is straight-up stealing, plain and simple. You’re swiping that sweet, sweet content without paying a single bottlecap for it. Sure, you might think you’re some kind of digital Robin Hood, sticking it to the greedy corporations. But guess what? Those corporations employ real people, talented folks who put in blood, sweat, and maybe a few stimpaks to create the show you’re plundering. So, unless you’re raiding their office and demanding a cutlass to your throat, you’re just a lowly thief.

  Secondly, let’s talk consequences. When you pirate the Fallout TV show, you’re not just giving the finger to the suits in their ivory towers. You’re screwing over the very people who made the damn thing. These artists, writers, and actors poured their souls into creating a post-apocalyptic masterpiece for us to enjoy. And how do you repay them? By snatching it from the digital high seas, denying them the reward they rightfully deserve. It’s like slapping a Deathclaw in the face and expecting it to thank you.

  Lastly, let’s address the big picture. Your piracy antics don’t just affect one show, my friend. They send shockwaves through the entire industry. When creators see their hard work getting pillaged, they become less likely to take risks and push the boundaries of their craft. So, congrats, you’re contributing to a world of bland, cookie-cutter content. And let’s not forget the ripple effect on your fellow fans. Your actions normalize piracy, making it seem like stealing is the new cool. Newsflash: it’s not. So, if you want to show some respect for the people who make the stuff you love and ensure a vibrant, creative landscape, drop the Jolly Roger and start supporting the legit channels.

  Arr matey, there you have it. Pirating the Fallout TV show might make you feel like a rebellious pirate, but in reality, you’re just a landlubber stealing from hardworking artists. So, shiver me timbers and do the right thing—pay for your entertainment and support the creative minds behind it. Otherwise, you’ll be walking the plank of cultural bankruptcy. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life is not for me, and it shouldn’t be for you either.

    While I appreciate the devotion to theming, this is such a bootlicking comment. You do realize that the people that made the show have already been paid, yes? Piracy is not theft, especially when half the people in this comment section are saying that they are pirating it alongside their active Amazon prime subscription.

    1. They’ve already been paid so you’re not snatching anything from them.

    2. You kind of assume that if someone hadn’t pirated it then they’d have paid to see it. The reality I’d they’d probably not have watched it at all. I haven’t watched the fall out show yet. Therefore I must also be “denying them the reward they rightfully deserve”

    3. The use of steaming was in the rise and piracy falling all through the 2010s. Why? Corporations were offering a good service at a good point. Over the last few years they’ve been making the services progressively worse and the price point progressively worse. The market has reacted and piracy has increased. Again you’ve fallen into thinking that if people didn’t have the option to pirate they’d pay for the service to get the content, I however think that many just wouldn’t consume the content at all.

    You said it doesn’t effect the show after talking about how it effects the show.

    Stealing is a very cool crime. Especially from Amazon.

    You’re just a square.

    I really don’t give a shit about a company like Amazon that gaslights its employees into not voting for an union through a bullshit campain, that sabotages said votes, and that overworks them to the point they are forced to piss in bottles and shit in bags.

    I kinda hope they fucking sink to be honest.

      It’s the old arguments about how piracy is stealing and hurts the artists.

    i only bothered to read the last bit so - stealing from the artists? Ha! that’s words of someone who doesn’t know how the film/TV show industry works. All artists (spare for maybe the actors, depending on their contract) already got paid, maybe they got a bonus for the popularity of the show, but they don’t own the rights to the show and therefore receive fuck all after that.
