So true. It's embarrassing how netflix still refuses to play high quality streams on linux. So I'll just head over to my favorite torrent site and grab it there, instead.
I think your priorities may be skewed. To me, supporting content creators (even though, yes, intermediaries take too big a cut) and respecting laws is more important than conveniently consuming entertainment on one's favorite operating system.
But is it right that I be forced to first support the makers of a closed operating system before I can support those content creators?
My priority is living my best life, not padding the pockets of others. I'll happily pay for stuff if I feel it's fair. But it's not.
Are you using some ethical framework to decide what's "fair" in this case, or are you just going with your gut?
