$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

    No you are mistaken with “Or $5 mire to own it”. You own a license to watch for the amount of time the platforms decides to keep it up.

    Man, I spent 15 bucks to watch it at the movie theatre. Why is the rent option more expensive than that? Even with the popcorn and drink I stayed below that.

      It’s less than 2 movie tickets and people usually don’t go to the theater alone.

        Oh God just wait until they realize they can use cameras/IP geodata from your phone to determine how many people are in your house while you stream something so they start charging per person.

    Watching propaganda is not why I pirate. It’s to have access to the media that isn’t straight up propaganda.

      Lmao you probably don’t blink an eye at the US Military funding the Transformers movies or having veto power for Marvel scripts.

      But yeah, sure, Barbie’s the propaganda.

        All post-2016 mainstream movies are propaganda. Quite a few before then of course. WW II films, ect. But Homeland Security has had their fingers in the Hollywood pie for a while now.

        A miss? Considering all the but-hurt, I hit the target precisely (to borrow your analogy). All post-2016 mainstream movies are propaganda.
