~Introductions~

To anyone stumbling upon this little corner of the internet,hey,I'm Sammy and I decided to document my thoughts and opinions about the media I consume.It's really just small,mindless,personal rambles.About movies,books,manga,cartoons,comics,anime,series,video games,plays and music.I love when people as a whole come together,to talk about how they see the world,through art.Which is why I'd like for you,if you decide to stay to share with me your favorite things,what moves you and inspires you <3

(Since I am Greek some of the media I talk about,will be in Greek only and I will do my best to be spoiler free)

hope you stay a while

:)

I think that if Christine,Erik and Raoul had a good threesome by the end it would fix them

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Addendum: This is also a really good reason to support trust-busting. A lot of this obnoxious behavior is only possible because corporations wield monopoly power.

another addendum: most modern (4K UHD) blurays use a form of online DRM that requires the player software to access a server to get title specific decryption keys. you don't really own a film on one of those disks any more than you do on streaming, the only way to truly preserve it is to rip off the disks or from streaming, not even the physical media you can "buy" can necessarily be preserved anymore.

PIRACY ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE MEDIA PRESERVATION
