A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.
It saves a lot of money for each subscription service you can skip.
I only had to buy a VPN and a cheap mini PC as a server. And then a 1tb SSD. Then I needed to buy another 2tb. And then I had to run Ethernet upstairs for it since the WiFi card couldn’t keep up. Then I had to upgrade the router to support the new gigabit cabling…
Eh, well, at least I get to keep something out of it.
Yeah, at least you OWN something. With digital games or subscription services you are at the mercy of companies.
Yeah, I’m going for a bit more storage, currently sitting at 108TB. The price of my home server could pay for around 75 years of Netflix.
Selection is probably better though
You mean at Netflix? Maybe, but only temporarily. If I’m missing a piece of media I want I’ll simply download it and add it to my server. And contrary to Netflix once it’s on my server it’ll stay there.
Wooosh
No selection on your server is probably better…at least for your taste.
