    its been fun. ive been sailing the seas for… shit… since inception. remember Myth!? watching all these providers come and go is almost entertaining.

    the only real affect ive ever felt was once streaming became a thing, that content became higher quality and hits the water far faster than it used to. so, thanks for that!

      Ive been an avowed pirate since i learned how to because i was so mad at Microsoft for selling windows ME. that OS was so bad it drove me to a life of crime lol.

      But i still do it the old way, with torrents or streams. Have you kept with the times? Do you use plex or jellyfin or one of the other systems i see the fancy plates use?

        ive been running storage devices (nas) since the late 90s… for media server its been MythTV… then later SageTV (google murdered) then XMBC and now its kodi+jellyfin.

        initially it was a lot of ripping physical media… it was awesome when netflix came up with the 'we’ll send you 7 disks at a time (and then 5 and then 3), i was returning them within hours of receipt. nowadays i have a seedbox/central torrenting server so the kids can help.

        i still have MP3s i downloaded on the OG napster.
