Wondering which of the 8 providers has your show is lame.
Yep, but there is a solution. Buy physical media and rip it. You get basically the best quality available _and_ a backup at the same time. You don't have to resort to piracy to avoid streaming services.
Last time I tried to watch a dvd I rented it. I tried to watch it on a projector from my laptop. DRM prevented me. So I tried to watch in a standalone dvd player. It was region locked to a different region.
I’ve pirated ever since.
I subscribe to a fair few services but don’t watch stuff there. My *ars provide a better experience. It’s more expensive with the various services and hardware but it works.
My conscience is clear, I tried the ‘correct’ approach.
I expect this will only get worse in the future - physical media is an increasingly niche product.
I don’t doubt you can watch one stream for 9 Euro. What happens when the game you want is with the other provider?
100€ for leisure and entertainment is already a huge sum of money when filing the tank of their cars to earn their salary cost them 2 to 3x 80€ already.
And for that, there are three options: piracy, pay many services, constantly juggle sign ins and sign outs.
I’d gladly pay money for it, but that’s not actually possible. The main cost of not pirating would be time, which is unacceptable because I’m neither a teenager nor poor.
Similarly, as a rich person who travels a lot, official sports streams just aren’t available for me.
Just for fun, I tried to Google and find an official site to watch LaLiga games:
“DAZN ISN'T AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY”
“The request is blocked.” -https://www.laliga.com/en-GB/where-to-watch-laliga-easports
Movistar plus is in Spanish, probably not for me
But yeah, even fucking googling “laliga official stream” brings zero working paid alternatives for very very rich me.
