$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

That's $25 for a revocable license to watch it once and $5 more for a revocable license to watch it as many times as you want until the service folds or they decide to memory-hole it in order to get out of paying residuals to the cast and crew. The only way to own something is to steal it.

It's weird how people were told it's theft and they simply repeated it forever despite knowing exactly what theft is and knowing piracy is literally not the same thing.

Now apply this same reasoning to other life concepts we've been told, and welcome to enlightenment.

(Or black pilling, YMMV)
