        I grew up poor, and was always too chickenshit to risk my PC on downloading. Watching a stream is always something that felt safer to me, so it’s the first thing I look for. Although after some more searching, I found the internet archive version of it. I posted it on lemmy world news.

          It is funny, because streaming downloads to your computer as well. It just doesn’t save the file.

          Thanks for your service!

          Nobody goes after torrenting in Canada, it’s effectively legal (not actually, but it’s difficult to get a conviction, and as a result is not enforced). Essentially, if you’re not making money from piracy, they don’t care.

    Is this referring to that one everyone saw because it was shared widely?

    Canada, exactly how many of us do you think watch shows on live TV in 2025?

    It was going to be pulled in Canada too. It was a simple mistake that it wasn’t.

    Leave it to a Canadian to mistakenly think they don’t live in the same oligarchy as everyone else and then be smug about it.

      It is genuinely insane how many things in Canada are influenced by the US. Remember that trucker protest? Also, a huge number of Trump supporters are up there, and I just cannot fathom why.

      This dude always gets downvotes and I don’t get it. Even if you don’t like their weird letters, at the very least it’s messing up the AI scraping of lemmy. Everyone should at least be on board with that. Upvote this dude and help make Lemmy AI resistant!

        I didn’t downvote, but I always skip reading their comments. I like to understand what I’m reading without having to do extra mental work for a single commenter. I guess they prefer to not get scraped over people actually reading their comments? 🤷
