Rants and Rage

The dearth of physical media is becoming more than irritating, it is becoming Massively Annoying.

This is an awesome but obscure series. My sister would love it. I want to buy it and send it to her for Christmas or her birthday. Can I do that? No I cannot. Because you fuckers won’t release it.

My friend Sheila would also love it. So would my friend Beth. I am literally willing to buy multiple physical copies of your product and evangelise it to so many people I know and you will not let me do that. You know what I am not ever going to buy my sister or my friend? A subscription to your streaming service.

You are screwing yourselves out of money. Money that I want to give you and I can’t.

Sod this. I’m going to start downloading everything from the pirate bay, burning it to DVD and physically mail it all over the world. You are forcing me to steal stuff that I Want To Buy. And I want you all to burn in hell for it.

You're preaching to the choir. I'd love to buy some of Hugh and Mads' streaming shows for friends, but that's not possible. So, I find other ways & means to acquire them.

I've cheerfully been acquiring things for myself for years, and will continue to do so with zero qualms. I just always felt that sending something I got for free wouldn't be the best kind of present. But you know what? Screw that. My friends and family would really like it. If they have to see the free version instead of the officially purchased version, they'll like it just as much. Fuck pandering to capitalism.
