You’d think so, but I promise you that a teenager will work their way around most internet based blocks eventually. The thing that gets you in a corpo environment is that they fully log your browsing, so yeah you managed to find fuckmyfacesilly.com that wasn’t blocked, but you’re going to have a little talk with management as soon as someone checks the logs.

Eh… I agree that age checks are dumb, but have you ever tried parental controls on most phones these days? They are all complete shit.

There’s a way to “sideload” it (not technically side loading) but it’s quite annoying.

I stopped pirating when we got a Netflix sub for reasonably cheap.

I started pirating again when I realized we were subbed to six different platforms, paying over $1k a year for the content, and still couldn’t watch what we wanted sometimes. The fact that I had to jump through hoops to find the thing I wanted to watch was also quite infuriating.

So, companies should be legally forced to produce DVDs?

I will admit forcing a form factor is ill advised, but it should be possible to purchase a legal and permanent copy of said production in one form or another. Even if that is digitally, so long as it can be downloaded and doesn’t need some sort of online/phone home solution to play it.
