Can't you just use a VPN like surfshark or nordVPN?

The streamers aren't responsible for geoblocking. Its the owners of the works doing forcing them for different reasons. Money and politics.

Yar har matey, down with geolocking.
Amanda55andcows
I grew up watching a shitty B&W tv with 3 channels. What makes you think that I need 4k to watch a movie? 480i is good enough for most.
When TF did resolution come up? Besides, while higher resolutions aren't necessary, they look much better, especially on fancier displays.

This is what I used NordVPN for... until Netflix found a way 2 circumvent it. Now get messages warning me 2 stop using a proxy & won't play.
Yoyobot
You can purchase a windows VPS from artic host, or vultr, or contabo. This allows you remote desktop access to a server in the US (or other)
HighSorcerer
You might try IPVanish with the WireGuard protocol. I'm able to watch Netflix and I'm currently in "Denmark".
znuff
It's just a matter of time. Protocol has no play in this. They just blacklist IP addresses. They're taking their sweet time to do the bare /
minimum to show good faith to the copyright owners.
SciencePetsComputers
there will be another way to circumvent, likely before they finish blocking ipvanish. that is the way of the internet and computers.
dancinshroom
Use the Obfuscated servers. I find that helps whenever a site or ISP detects youre using a VPN
Midgarmerc

TheBlueMuppet
Money grubbers get less smart the more cash they get.
Septcanmat
Remember that streaming services aren’t geo-locking content arbitrarily but because of one of two reasons; 1. They only have streaming
rights in particular regions for certain content (like how Star Trek stuff is available on (I think) Netflix in regions where Paramount
doesn’t have their own streaming service), and 2. They’re obligated by local regulations about how much local content they have (for example
Canada requires that Canadian broadcasters feature so much Canadian content; not sure if it applies to online streaming but if it doesn’t
imissmaplesyrup
They also get massive pressure from MPAA and similar orgs, with threats of lawsuits
Kalmbach
When you're willing to pay for something, but they're not letting you buy it, finding a way around that is not piracy.
GoldenSun3DS
Consoles. Just sell your damn games on PC and fuck off with your crappy DRM box that I don't want.
Pretty sure the law disagrees. Not that you should necessarily care.
I'm speaking from an ethical, rather than strictly legal, sense.
canadianreserve
Depends where, Very tough to prosecute people for piracy here in Canada. Corporations send warning letters and we toss them in the bin
It's pretty hard to here in the US too. Though if your ISP gets enough warnings about your connection, they'll can disconnect you.

Remember - Pirating is only pirating if you're uploading.
You seed (upload) the thing as you download it. Practically impossible to only DL
wozat
It's only pirating if you have a ship with a skull and crossbones flag and are actively plundering other ships of their chests of gold coins

thundercactus
Ah yes, the US standard of "it's only a crime if you're profiting from it." /s
Sort of. The crime is *distributing* media that don't have approval from the owner of. Selling it might be another crime, I'm not sure, >>
>> but even giving it away for free is illegal.
GuacamoleMoleMolester
Did the US stopped sending SWAT teams if you download an mp3 or was that just satire?
that was satire. SWAT is supposed to be used when the situation is expected to be more dangerous than normal cops meant for. overuse has 1/2
occurred with the war on drugs where SWAT was/is used to execute search warrants for drugs by default, without indication of likely conflict
RideTheStimutacs
Depends on whether you downloaded a car.

You could probably limit your up speed to zero, but depending on swarm health, you might not get many peers willing to send to you.
Maybe with some weird sketchy torrent software? I've tested trying that on around 5 of the major torrent platforms the min upload is 1-10kbs
Huh. Never actually tried it and was guessing. Interesting. But a lot of the good clients are open source and that'd be a trivial tweak.
DrNick
Really it's only pirating if you burn DVDs and sell them. This is socialized media consumption.
50m31AW
It's strange that ppl call streaming/downloading "theft" what, bc I didn't pay for the experience? I can go check a game or movie at my 1/
local library for free. I can go to a friend's house & watch/play with them. I can buy a used copy at a yard sale. I can borrow a copy 2/
from a neighbor. There are a shitzillion perfectly legitimate ways to experience the media without pyaing the original creator for the 3/
experience beyond the initial single purpose. Why does it suddenly become theft bc I did it one way instead of the other umpteen ways? 4/
Santorrr
As a PSA, laws are very different (and enforced differently) in parts of the world, so be careful.
AwwDamn321
Distribution counts as copyright infringement But the other guy is right. You can’t be penalized for downloading. Just make sure you>>>
Distribution without personal gain is not piracy. A pirate — by definition — distributes material for profit, illegally.
don’t have your download folder the same as your upload folder.
SatanicSpirals
Your ISP, if they catch you, can cut off services though. Spectrum sent a 1 warning letter to a roommate of mine in uni.
Oh right right. I remember this now.

Sadly Netflix and Prime have wised up to the VPN thing. They don't let you watch anything at all if you have a VPN running now. (Canadian)

Samja192
My VPN updates regularly - I can watch overseas Netflix for a while after an update before they obviously wise up to it.

Try switching servers. Sometimes it works. Also most of the bigger VPNs will likely have a work around in coming updates
That stinks. :/

Investigate changing your DNS address? I use OpenDNS, they have specific instructions on their website. Gets you away from your provider
TielKiri
Magic dot!
After changing the DNS on our router, then the VPN is another level of security
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
I love how I don’t know what DNS or VPN mean, but I’m presently too fried to even care enough to learn. Life is exhausting. X(
SandwichRGood
DNS is the address book that tells your computer where to go when you put in a website name. VPN is a detour the computer takes to get there
mineoc
DNS: Domain Name System. It's basically a telephone directory assistance, but for the Internet. It turns a name (domain name, imgur.com) 1/?
VPN: Virtual Private Network.The Internet is a bunch of individual netw. connected together (i.e. your home netw.). To be "in" a network,1/?

The Bay is still open and VPN's are getting cheaper.
FoamingToad
Opera Turbo is pretty good (& free) for circumventing region blocks to the Bay.
VPN is more anti-track than region lock. At least for my household.
In the UK the response has been DNS filters more than litigation. We do it on the cheap rightpond.

I use an android box. As King Lionidis said in 300 “Give them nothing, but take from them everything”
CalvinMcFly
More info?? I havent done this in years and back then I had a PC just for downloading. Lots of viruses!!
1/2It’s basically the same as PB, but it’s all done from a little box between ur router and tv. You get menu and a choice of dpi but if
2/2 no one puts up a torrent, u can’t watch it. Most current shows and movies you can watch in ultra HD
Kalamburas
Android box is a piece of hardware but has nothing to do with illegal torrents, is that correct?
B99Reactions
Torrents for high quality video and then set up your plex media library and browse it like Netflix
SendMeDogsOrTits
Plex plus Sonarr and you get Netflix like experience.
What's sonarr?
Basically it auto downloads new episodes of shows you tell it to monitor. It will also rename and organise the files.
Sweet
Swinglowmysweetballs
I'm not going to advise you to get an android box and install stremio, or movie HD v2, but you could use tubi which is a free streaming app

There are sites which offer online viewing and downloads and using those is legal as opposed to torrents.

BeeTV if you want to watch Chernobyl, it's a Hulu US exclusive and pretty much impossible to stream elsewhere.

Isn't it HBO?
idk but it's impossible to access in Canada since neither of those are available here unless you know someone w/ an account and use a vpn
That's not true. Crave + HBO package.
mtuunanen
1) check if the desired show is in some of my subscribed services. 2) same with vpn. 3) if vpn access is blocked in 2), torrent with vpn.
but 3) only if I'm just geoblocked and the vpn method for the paid service doesn't work.

And even if I am privileged enough that I am *able* to access the media I want, by paying $60+ a month to various services, how about I »

Exactly, the cost just isn't worth the inconvenience =P.
Matty3D
Every companies is jumping on the streaming bandwagon. It's like cable all over again.
Shpadoinkleman
It's pretty much exactly cable all over again. History is cyclic. The technology changes but the behavior doesn't.

Especially since the more streaming networks multiply, the less likely we are able to sub to all of the ones with content we want.
Well yeah, but why pay $14 a month to watch one show?

Ahahaha "please purchase each episode individually for $10" was considered the "this will fix piracy" in Australia
spyderj
Yup. Netflix pioneered a new way to consume content, then the rest of the entertainment industry tried to jump onboard too and f*cked it up.
They all wanted their cut of the pie and didn't want to share their ingredients with the others so baked their own with missing ingredients.

Same reason game piracy dropped drastically after Steam formed and became a game distribution service. People accommodate convenience.
Astramancer
Gabe said piracy is fundamentally a service problem. Some piracy is about cost, but enough is about bullshit.
ThomasThundersword
the DRM on dragon age origins has had me almost pirate it like 5 times. i own the damn thing but if i try to play it on the go with no>
network connection “fuck you no DLC without a connection” like i really hate piracy and find it deplorable, and yet it realllly sucks to>
do the right thing and pay for the game. and end up with an objectively worse piece of software than someone could pirate for free.
Funnily enough, platform exclusive distribution will do the same thing as Epic expands and a few others follow suit.
RogueKitsune
Nah. A few people will bitch and moan, like always, but if the platform is free to access (like Steam and Epic are), most won't really care.
LupusLilium
I won't directly support Epic by using their platform, because their whole thing of buying up games to become exclusive even after games
had been marketed/advertised through Steam. Then people have the gall to say 'but it's only a year', but it's not just a year. If it's an
online game then you either have mostly empty online servers or characters who are OP from having played so long.
Staddi
Its only Epic and Activision. Ubisoft and EA both tried and are now back, EA with EA Play on Steam. Epic makes no money with its exclusives.
moshthun
Ubisoft didn't release AC Valhalla on Steam. And I bet that if they did, there'd be a mass refund.

And you k ow that some of it is out of spite. For me it's 40% spite
There was one show I went and pirated out of spite. Bought it completely legally through iTunes back in the day. iTunes decides I totally
didn't purchase it out of nowhere, removing it from my library, device, and account. Pirated that show, then decided to get VLC and pirate
all the music I had once bought via iTunes to avoid them trying some DRM bullshit ever again.
With things like Spotify and YouTube. Who buys music still?

Kalmbach
I'm speaking from an ethical, rather than strictly legal, sense.
canadianreserve
Depends where, Very tough to prosecute people for piracy here in Canada. Corporations send warning letters and we toss them in the bin
solarshado
It's pretty hard to here in the US too. Though if your ISP gets enough warnings about your connection, they'll can disconnect you.

Remember - Pirating is only pirating if you're uploading.
dancinshroom
You seed (upload) the thing as you download it. Practically impossible to only DL
wozat
It's only pirating if you have a ship with a skull and crossbones flag and are actively plundering other ships of their chests of gold coins

I'm an amateur archivist... Sort of a modern anthropologist specializing in motion picture art forms.
ButteredNoodleDriver
And you're an asshole who takes without giving anything back. It's the digital version of the shopping cart theory
thundercactus
Ah yes, the US standard of "it's only a crime if you're profiting from it." /s
solarshado
Sort of. The crime is *distributing* media that don't have approval from the owner of. Selling it might be another crime, I'm not sure, >>
solarshado
>> but even giving it away for free is illegal.

Did the US stopped sending SWAT teams if you download an mp3 or was that just satire?
SciencePetsComputers
that was satire. SWAT is supposed to be used when the situation is expected to be more dangerous than normal cops meant for. overuse has 1/2
SciencePetsComputers
occurred with the war on drugs where SWAT was/is used to execute search warrants for drugs by default, without indication of likely conflict
RideTheStimutacs
Depends on whether you downloaded a car.
Nippledeepinahorse
TheGriffin
That's why I don't seed. Gubament is less likely to care about me
dancinshroom
You seed (upload) the thing as you download it. Practically impossible to only DL
solarshado
You could probably limit your up speed to zero, but depending on swarm health, you might not get many peers willing to send to you.
dancinshroom
Maybe with some weird sketchy torrent software? I've tested trying that on around 5 of the major torrent platforms the min upload is 1-10kbs
solarshado
Huh. Never actually tried it and was guessing. Interesting. But a lot of the good clients are open source and that'd be a trivial tweak.
DrNick
Really it's only pirating if you burn DVDs and sell them. This is socialized media consumption.
50m31AW
It's strange that ppl call streaming/downloading "theft" what, bc I didn't pay for the experience? I can go check a game or movie at my 1/
50m31AW
local library for free. I can go to a friend's house & watch/play with them. I can buy a used copy at a yard sale. I can borrow a copy 2/
50m31AW
from a neighbor. There are a shitzillion perfectly legitimate ways to experience the media without pyaing the original creator for the 3/

experience beyond the initial single purpose. Why does it suddenly become theft bc I did it one way instead of the other umpteen ways? 4/
Santorrr
As a PSA, laws are very different (and enforced differently) in parts of the world, so be careful.
AwwDamn321
Distribution counts as copyright infringement But the other guy is right. You can’t be penalized for downloading. Just make sure you>>>
DrNick
Distribution without personal gain is not piracy. A pirate — by definition — distributes material for profit, illegally.
AwwDamn321
don’t have your download folder the same as your upload folder.
SatanicSpirals
Your ISP, if they catch you, can cut off services though. Spectrum sent a 1 warning letter to a roommate of mine in uni.
AwwDamn321
Oh right right. I remember this now.

We got tired of various stations blocking Olympics coverage by location, so we purchased NordVPN and can now watch "from" any country. :)

I'm sceptical of NordVPN because they seem to get pushed by every demonetized YouTuber out there.

Nord VPN is the shit, it’s does a lot more for us than just getting shows on our subscriptions from out of our region

Free vpns are a scam, they have to pay for it somehow and they do so by stealing from you

I personally wouldn't trust a free VPN without reading their TOS very closely. I barely trust paid ones, but at least then, I'm the customer

Not for long. You really should get a VPN to sail the seas.

you referring to using TOR(dark net) or a free vpn?

TOR is so slow I wouldnt be fucked to try to stream anything. Free VPNs are sketchy as well

There's free DNS redirection which works with some items, or free VPN. But if it is free you're the product.

You won't have a good time pirating without a VPN, just FYI. They aren't exclusive, they usually go together.

Depends who your ISP is. I agree, use a VPN but most of the time they won't come after regular seeders

Sadly Netflix and Prime have wised up to the VPN thing. They don't let you watch anything at all if you have a VPN running now. (Canadian)

Samja192
My VPN updates regularly - I can watch overseas Netflix for a while after an update before they obviously wise up to it.

Try switching servers. Sometimes it works. Also most of the bigger VPNs will likely have a work around in coming updates
StrayCatsMakeGreatKibble
That stinks. :/

I can second this here in the US. Major bummer, and totally a slap in the face for people who want to have broader viewing.

supervillainsevilmoustache
Investigate changing your DNS address? I use OpenDNS, they have specific instructions on their website. Gets you away from your provider
TielKiri
Magic dot!
supervillainsevilmoustache
After changing the DNS on our router, then the VPN is another level of security
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
I love how I don’t know what DNS or VPN mean, but I’m presently too fried to even care enough to learn. Life is exhausting. X(
SandwichRGood
DNS is the address book that tells your computer where to go when you put in a website name. VPN is a detour the computer takes to get there
mineoc
DNS: Domain Name System. It's basically a telephone directory assistance, but for the Internet. It turns a name (domain name, imgur.com) 1/?
mineoc
VPN: Virtual Private Network.The Internet is a bunch of individual netw. connected together (i.e. your home netw.). To be "in" a network,1/?
imaginaryPeppers
My thoughts echo yours friend. I feel like it has been exhausting for a while now. There is no proper rest in sight.

Opera Turbo is pretty good (& free) for circumventing region blocks to the Bay.

VPN is more anti-track than region lock. At least for my household.

In the UK the response has been DNS filters more than litigation. We do it on the cheap rightpond.

Thetingwitdating
2/2 no one puts up a torrent, u can’t watch it. Most current shows and movies you can watch in ultra HD
Kalamburas
Android box is a piece of hardware but has nothing to do with illegal torrents, is that correct?

Torrents for high quality video and then set up your plex media library and browse it like Netflix
SendMeDogsOrTits
Plex plus Sonarr and you get Netflix like experience.
B99Reactions
GerberLegalTeam
What's sonarr?
SendMeDogsOrTits
Basically it auto downloads new episodes of shows you tell it to monitor. It will also rename and organise the files.
GerberLegalTeam
Sweet
Swinglowmysweetballs
I'm not going to advise you to get an android box and install stremio, or movie HD v2, but you could use tubi which is a free streaming app

There are sites which offer online viewing and downloads and using those is legal as opposed to torrents.

Android Box for me even though I'm a fulltime PC user, PopcornTime and BeeTV have everything between the 2
Daxton
BeeTV if you want to watch Chernobyl, it's a Hulu US exclusive and pretty much impossible to stream elsewhere.
VidiVeniThenSheLeft
Isn't it HBO?
Daxton
idk but it's impossible to access in Canada since neither of those are available here unless you know someone w/ an account and use a vpn
VidiVeniThenSheLeft
That's not true. Crave + HBO package.
mtuunanen
1) check if the desired show is in some of my subscribed services. 2) same with vpn. 3) if vpn access is blocked in 2), torrent with vpn.
mtuunanen
but 3) only if I'm just geoblocked and the vpn method for the paid service doesn't work.

Corrodias
And even if I am privileged enough that I am *able* to access the media I want, by paying $60+ a month to various services, how about I »

just don't. They had their shot, and they blew it. Convenience and price together, yeah.
Kamica
Exactly, the cost just isn't worth the inconvenience =P.
Matty3D
Every companies is jumping on the streaming bandwagon. It's like cable all over again.
Shpadoinkleman
It's pretty much exactly cable all over again. History is cyclic. The technology changes but the behavior doesn't.

Especially since the more streaming networks multiply, the less likely we are able to sub to all of the ones with content we want.
METDeath
Well yeah, but why pay $14 a month to watch one show?
xlr82xs
Ahahaha "please purchase each episode individually for $10" was considered the "this will fix piracy" in Australia

Yup. Netflix pioneered a new way to consume content, then the rest of the entertainment industry tried to jump onboard too and f*cked it up.

Funnily enough, platform exclusive distribution will do the same thing as Epic expands and a few others follow suit.
RogueKitsune
Nah. A few people will bitch and moan, like always, but if the platform is free to access (like Steam and Epic are), most won't really care.
LupusLilium
I won't directly support Epic by using their platform, because their whole thing of buying up games to become exclusive even after games
LupusLilium
had been marketed/advertised through Steam. Then people have the gall to say 'but it's only a year', but it's not just a year. If it's an

Its only Epic and Activision. Ubisoft and EA both tried and are now back, EA with EA Play on Steam. Epic makes no money with its exclusives.
