I was fine when it was just Netflix and Hulu. Corporate greed pulling their content to get their own piece of the pie en masse made me hoist the flag and join the Kodi Real-Debrid gang.

Except that you're not contributing anything to help your crew mates when using a debrid service that just leeches and nothing else.

No honor among thieves I suppose :'D

We need i2p or veilid torrents ASAP, to protect uploaders and downloaders. One of the main reasons people don't seed is the threat of lawsuits.

Yeah, and telling people to just pay for a VPN isn't a great answer either - that's just another fucking pay-forever subscription with the price rises of Netflix plus the added jank and nonsense that comes with being a copyright infringement hobbyist.

Maybe I'll just cancel everything and do totally offline ripping of borrowed physical media from the public library, like some kind of pirate hermit.

We have those on I2P already, see tracker2.postman.i2p for example.

That's a good point. I never thought about it that way.

What does "debrid" even mean? I know what it is, but what's it supposed to mean?

What's a better alternative? Edit: for a tv with an android box.
