Piracy isn't a problem.
I mean, I have a home server setup with 32 terabytes of NAS in a RAID 5 running the *Arrs and Jellyfin pulling from Usenet. Also running Calibre and paying for Anna's.
Like I told a friend that got huffy with me over how I do my sailing, "I been pirating since you had babyteeth."
You can be prickly if you want, but increased piracy is a symptom of a service problem. If Netflix hadn't gone to shit, I'd still be using it. I'm considering paying for Samsung's art subscription for my TV.
I will pay a reasonable price for convenient media. Make it difficult or expensive enough, and I'll sail the high seas. Time is money.
I've got the same setup but less storage. But more importantly, what's Anna's?
Anna's Archive for ebooks.
