    Its not piracy though… its the same as if you recorded television and then… skip over the ads. TiVo was doing that 25 years ago. You have no obligation to watch ads.

    If content relies purely on ad revenue and viewer ship disappears, perhaps its time to rethink the revenue stream.

      We all fucking know what ‘piracy’ means in terms of software piracy and copyright infringement.

      People like you are just being pedantic for the sake of derailing the argument.

      Just admit you are a fucking leech and move on.

        Except you do not know what copyright infringement is. One must be depriving the owner their rights, such as distributing copyright material. The real loser here is youtube. By not watching ads, youre costing them bandwidth and violates theyre ToS. But theyre a multi billion dollar tech giant that has no quams about fucking society over. So fuckem.
