Every movie, TV programme or anything else that I watch is from file sharing. Because if I buy media I expect media and not bundled viruses, digital restrictions management or corporate surveillance.
that's why i have youtube premium. there are no ads so corporate bastards can't sway me with their propaganda
Sounds like you've already been swayed if you're just handing Google money
"Sounds like you're already fallen into their trap because you're willingly paying money for a service provided by a large company"
I'm not paying google anything. I use DuckDuckGo
to get youtube premium, you have to pay for a subscription, google owns youtube. therefore, you are paying google.
well that's one way of looking at it, i guess
am i taking crazy pills? There's literally no other way to look at it. It's a tautology, if you are paying google for youtube premium, then you're paying google.
I'm wondering how you're paying Google for a thing but also apparently not actually paying them for the thing... Is YouTube premium piracy a thing or something?
