Comment on "Mickey 17" releases digitally on March 25 — only 18 days after its theatrical debut
DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 1 day agoBuying Blu-ray, going to theaters, and buying merchandise aren’t alternatives to owning digitally. I won’t speak for all pirates, but I just want to own a digital copy of what i pay for. Even streaming with a paid subscription isn’t a viable alternative. I don’t pirate to protest, I pirate because there’s no other choice.

You can pirate your digital copy and support the artists in ways that don’t support streaming. You can buy blurays for example, rip them using MakeMKV to get a digital copy. It’s piracy, but it supports a business model that’s at least somewhat based on ownership.
