why you guys still paying for media is beyond me
I pirated three copies of Starship Troopes and I’ll download it again just out of pure spite.
You wouldn’t download a car
I got into 3D printing so I could pirate copy physical object.
But… I want to know more.
“change plans to watch the movie”? As in, i planned to watch it, but now I won’t?
Lol well done.
My plan changed to “launch Kodi”.
Your first mistake was paying for an ad supported plan
Anyway thanks to Hollywood accounting only a few billionaires will get your money and not the people that actually worked on the movie
Avast, ye matey!
Where we’re going, we don’t need antivirus.
See kids, this is what happens when you stop pirating.
Either buy the DVD or pirate the movie. Myself, I have all of the movies and the show on disc.
I’m not from Buenos Aires, but I say kill 'em all!
Wait there’s sequels? No way.
There’s a reason you didn’t hear about them. I never watched the last two that were animated, but 2 and 3 were really bad.
You poor bastard. The 2nd movie was bad, but the third one was bad in such a way that it couldn’t even be a “so bad it’s entertaining”. It just plain hurt to watch.
Sure, but it had T’Pol and the original Johnny Rico, so, I couldn’t hate it. I’d have been happier if Jeri had been dragged in, but Jolene did good.
ETA: Also, it’s a #2 in a Verhoeven-sparked trilogy. Detroit, Klendathu… same difference. Just pass me the jetpack and stand back.
I haven’t sailed the high seas since Limewire. I’ve got some learning to do
Honestly that’s why i pie rate. I get to keep that file and put it in external drive, and it will never be unavailable.
Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.
Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.
Early Netflix proved it too and are currently showing us what happens when the service gets worse
Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.
Let’s hope Steam gets overrun by bean counter dickheads as late as possible.
So long as gaben draws breath that won’t happen, and his children are VERY in line with their fathers vision and choices from all appearances.
So at the earliest we have at least one generation after gaben that we likely won’t have to worry.
Typically it’s the grandkids that ruin everything tho when it comes to family businesses. Normally cause the kids suck ass at teaching their parents wisdom.
And the great grandkids basically ALWAYS ruin everything.
Still weird to think of valve as a privately owned family business. But it is.
That’s some tasty pie!
There’s a solution for that…
There are better solutions than literally anything that could be behind that Amazon link.
$15 for a 4K disc that can’t be taken away from you. Physical is the answer.
It’s an answer 🏴☠️
Hell, they sell the DVD for five. Let’s be honest, that’s not a 4K kind of movie.
You can really see the “made in China” on the costumes
And it can be bought anywhere other than Amazon.
You’d think, right? Best Buy and Target don’t sell them anymore. Walmart is hit and miss on anything other than new releases.
For national availability it’s pretty much Amazon these days.
Unless your Blu-ray player can’t phone home to verify the license on your disc in which case it stops working.
You’re confusing Blu Ray (which requires nothing like that) with BD-LIVE which does.
But, honestly, I haven’t seen a disc with BD-LIVE in ages.
So your saying I could physically take it away from you. 🤔
Someone possibly could, just not you. ;)
I clicked it hoping it was a Nas or other PC ready to sail the seas, I was disappointed.
If you’re looking for a Nas I like this one
Starship.Troopers.1997.US.25th.Anniversary.DV-COYS
the superior 25th steelbook anniversary release which was regraded for dolby vision and is generally considered the definitive release. Out of print, $70-$100 online given the limited supply and the demand for the best version
They stopped printing the 25th anniversary because it was the more expensive version (steelbook) but they could’ve pressed it into the same stupid plastic case as the $15 version they keep on the market
Piracy is ethically and morally correct against hostile corporations that refuse to provide the best quality product, or provide it temporarily then remove access to only then provide a subpar product, especially when said corporations have excessive amounts of capital.
Also fuck amazon
