I love how they always assume pirates would be buying this shitty content at $3/episode in the absence of piracy. They'd be playing videogames or listening to music or podcasts if this crap wasn't free.

Drug busts are always valued at inflated prices too...
Just classic bad faith behavior by the state to justify oppression of the working people
a gram of coke in a kilo of flour is a kilo of coke
25g of saw dust in 75g of beef = 100g of beef.
math checks out sir!
The newspaper provides much needed roughage and essential inks
I think cops are just getting fucked over by dealers so they don’t know the real prices
"Street value" /s
no self respecting crack head would pay the rate haha
what street?!?!
Lol, well I'm guessing they're just taking the weight, dividing it by grams (or whatever amount its usually sold to individuals in), and multiplying that by it's "dose value". So, for easy math, if 1g of coke goes for $100, and cops bust someone with a kilo (1000g), it becomes a million dollar bust when nobody would ever actually pay that much.
Yeah, I wouldn't pay for the shit I download.
Is it x.com? I heard they were illegally streaming a ton of Disney things.
All that taxpayer money wasted on this clown show...
Gonna upload some more Linux isos today
My thoughts exactly. All this time, money and manpower spent to prevent some people from watching movies.
Good job assholes, you saved the fuckin day 🙄
Probably one of those AI companies who don’t give a fuck about copyrights
Oh wait..
Anytime I see "millions" or "billions" claimed in losses, I assume it's less than that and consider it whining.
Salute to the public servants.
my heart goes out to them
I'd love to download all the shit that's been pulled off Netflix since I've been a customer.
They pulled their content,
thus they don't want my money,
thus there should be 0 qualms in me re-acquiring their content.
I want tax authority notice this and this and fuck brodcaster over for underreporting income in next month.
