I am feeling pretty normal (well, for me) now. Going to tentatively try a couple of activities.

Saw two blackbirds fighting over who got to birdbath in the gutter.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

Stuff like this is pretty much why piracy will always exist. Streaming services are becoming the new sky/cable TV. I read Amazon is going to be including ads with prime video now as well.

I wonder how much of it was it running as a loss or more that they realised they could make even more money with ads, now that everything is fractured and other platforms are doing the same.

I don't see it as much to worry about to be honest. As long as I've been using the internet, they've been trying to fight piracy but someone always finds a way around it. For people just consuming media I doubt they will bother with. It must be a lot harder to prove now days with ISP's using shared public IP addresses and the prevalence of VPN's. Not to mention that even with piracy they're still raking in millions and there's enough precedence now that piracy is not equal to a lost sale.

Thankfully we had good weather all of this week and the roofers got all the work done by yesterday. We decided to remove the antenna as well while they were up there. It was getting rusty and we've never even used it since moving in. The roof looks a lot tidier without it.
