Would love to find old Canadian sketch comedy. CBC doesn’t release much in the way of physical media. Thankfully, most if not all of Red Green is on youtube, but the vast majority of Royal Canadian Air Farce, Wayne & Shuster, 22 Minutes, etc is rotting away in the CBC archives. Maybe there’s a couple episodes here and there on archive.org but there are zero torrents.
Other than Firefly, are there other shows that did this?
Typically I only seek out 4K content if it’s an “event” type of movie like a big budget blockbuster or something like that. Maybe I’m just getting old, but I typically don’t have a problem watching my movie collection in HD when I grew up watching beta and VHS cassettes.
FWIW, every episode of Red Green is on youtube. Just have to rip it, which is always fun /s
Aint nobody pirating Netflix shows.
Because Netflix has the exclusivity to stream Breaking Bad.
Right, but the general public only ever saw the broadcast versions, which were predominantly in 4:3. Also, Seinfeld was only shot in 4:3 as it’s a multi cam sitcom. The widescreen version you’ve seen is a crop of the original 4:3 picture.
Most people would not be able to discern the difference between the top 2 images. Chroma subsampling? Aliasing? Bitrate? These are words that we understand but your average TV watcher has never heard uttered.
Nintendo has not confirmed that the Switch 2 is even in development let alone a release date.
There’s no such thing as pure randomness in computer science.
The only viable strategy for Netflix in the long run to stay in the game is to exploit people’s FOMO. You’ll sell way more subscriptions if you have a hot brand new show that everyone wants to watch. There will always be pirates, so if they want to stay one step ahead of them, they have to make sure there’s an abundance of quality programming on their platform coming out pretty much constantly.
No subscription fee to use Steam. Games are available to download and play offline. 3 clicks of the mouse to buy, install, and play a game. It’s so damn easy to use Steam, I don’t miss buying physical PC games and I certainly don’t miss rolling the dice on russian cracks.
Not particularly. Things generally cost money. It’s not a human rights violation to say you can’t see a movie if you have zero dollars.
Maybe start at a much lower number. If the movie is popular, then millions of people will watch it. Pay each person who worked on the film a penny per view. If the movie gets viewed by 10 million people in the movie theater, each person who worked on the movie gets paid $100,000. If the movie was made by 2000 people (a bit big for most films crews) then each viewer would have to pay $20 to see the movie, or roughly what a normal movie ticket costs anyway. The difference is the studio would make zero dollars and not have a marketing budget.
No, that’s exactly the point they were making.
Why would people pay for pirated media? lmao
The full context of the quote is, while yes, the prospect of the complete elimination of private property is terrifying for some people (even socialists), the idea is that in the future, you won’t need to own anything and your life will be simpler and theoretically more fulfilling if we’re not preoccupied with owning things and keeping up with the Joneses.
Not that I’d actually want to own any DCU movie, but yeah, that’s just patently false.
Man, sexualizing Rei is so weird.
How would it hurt WorldCat’s business given that the service they offer is free? If the information, that being the location of books and articles in specific libraries around the USA, was freely available on another site, what value has been lost?
