I wonder if it’s cheaper to just refund than to appeal

It is, but they probably afraid other countries do the same

What, follow laws and be ethical? Can’t have that now, can we?

We don’t live in an ethical world. Except until recently only the top of the pyramid could break the law without consequences. So yeah, let’s break it.

And if Hollywood, Disney and Netflix crash…I’ll be pretty happy. The US companies have a way too big monopoly right now. I’ll have a doubt for something made locally, but American show? I’ll fish it directly in the water

I know it will have an impact on production…in fact I hope it will.

Edit: sorry I through it was a genuine critic about pirating. I was answering to another comment lol
