Reply to comment by Donald_J_Putin in ‘Great Expectations’ Review: Olivia Colman in FX/Hulu’s Dickens Series by fdjadjgowjoejow

Don't steal content. That was paid for by British citizens through the licence fee.
Why the hell do you have the right to it?

I have Britbox, so they get my money. Information is a non rival resource, so I am not depriving anyone access to it.

Britbox is not owned by the same company that produces this show.

Britbox is owned by BBC Worldwide (or whatever they call themselves now) who then buy the content from BBC.

Actually, come to think of it, Britbox may just be owned by ITV now.

Either way; DON'T PIRATE. It impacts content creators.

Brit box is how we get these shows. So it’s just a chain of rights. BBC gets money from them for licensing.

Having said that, it really has zero impact on content creators that I choose to download it rather than waiting however many months for it to arrive here on other streaming services. Fuck those corporations and their pointlessly entangled rights.

I can also find shows that just aren’t available to stream anywhere.
