Pretty much nothing. I get pretty much whatever I want. I still buy stuff before-hand though, I just like having backup copies so I don't have to rely on some server that will go away some day.
Do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate.
Not too surprising but still disappointing regardless. Self-hosting is the only way to go for this.
I don't like Windows. They leak a lot of air, they are expensive to replace, and you usually just end up covering them anyway.
I also don't like the OS much either. lol
Generally this is why you want to have multiple providers - one that follows DMCA and one that follows NTD. That way, you have a higher chance of actually finding the content you want before it gets taken down.
I mean, if it helps why not! I honestly really do have a lot of fun tinkering with Linux, it's one of the big draws of the OS to me.
IPTV is the way to go but I don't have any recommendations for IPTV providers.
