Vote Pirate Party
Is there a Pirate party in the US?
Every day is a pirate party in the US.
AARRRR
Ha, no, we don’t have the kind of political system which would make such small parties useful. Anyone who isn’t in one of the big two is essentially disenfranchised.
we don’t have the kind of political system YET…
Roughly 50 American voting jurisdictions — from small cities to states — have now moved to a ranked choice voting system, according to tracking by the advocacy group FairVote, and it’s shaping up to be one of the political subplots of 2024.
Advocates say ranked choice voting could help take some of the toxicity out of American politics while giving voters access to a broader swath of ideas.

I feel like this would just push more nontechies to learn how to be better pirates. It would do very little to stop piracy.
When one site gets blocked 10 more pop up. More people just need to learn about VPN use.
Only way to stop piracy is to make it easier and cheaper to buy the goods legitimately in all corners of the world. Since that won’t be happening, and since so much content is an outright gamble if it’s even any good, piracy will continue to grow.
Cool so we are going to nationalize the film industry? Force consolidation of streaming services? Treat entertainment like a utility and fix their rates with a tariff? No? Then fuck off
Mic drop
‘traffic would have plummeted, protecting us consumers’
how exactly?
*Looks at the 4 busted ass appliances, that were built to fall, I bought brand new 3 years ago that are barely clinging onto life. * Consumer protection huh? What a concept.
Glad to see someone else have the exact reaction I did. They know this has nothing to do with consumer protections. Thats just blatant, bold-face lying.
Oh thank the heavens, someone is here to save us guys!!! The corporate greed and multiple wars going on aren’t important right now, at least we are safe from free media!
… from committing the severe crime of copyright infringement, of course!
oh silly me
Goddammit Ted Lieu, you are for encryption and data privacy but you’re against media sharing?
He’s for whoever pays him money… bunch of dirty greedy fuckwads who have zero concept of how the average person lives. Piracy wouldn’t be a problem if companies were providing easy access for a low price. It had dropped quite a bit when netflix was the only option and they weren’t charging extortion fees and raising them every couple months.
Not to mention the insane amount of exclusivity going on now and even the stupidity of certain features of the service not being available in certain areas. I stopped paying for Netflix when I got it from a rep that because I was living in a non-English-speaking country that I couldn’t have access to the English voice track of a show I wanted to watch.
Subscriptions are the next iteration of the console wars. They bank on exclusives instead of designing the best user experience and selling themselves on merit alone.
Yes, he’s making that pretty obvious
Haven’t watched on fmovies before, thanks for the suggestion I guess :)
FYI It seems like at least the US government doesn’t want you to go there. So if Fmoviesz is down or something, you should be careful to avoid alternatives such as sflix.to, lookmovie2.to, flixtorz.to, sflix.to, movieuniverse.se, soap2dayto.day.
Oh my God, thanks for the heads up! As a European, I would most definitely want to avoid visiting these sites, as I obviously respect copyright law to its full extent! Now I can add them to my (block) list!
i will definetely not go there anymore winks
I’m not in the US, so no problem! But thanks for letting me know what else to look out for :)
