    I want to pay for max so I can watch warrior season 3 and let their BS algorithm know there’s interest in it and not cancel it outright. They don’t even allow subscribers from my country UK so I have no choice but to pirate. They also have not released the season 2 bluray yet and I’m not gonna get the season 1 one if I’m just gonna end up with an incomplete collection cause this company is just allergic to taking my money.

          The alternative is pirating (which I’m all for), which also should be done through a vpn anyway.

            You’d need to find somewhere that doesn’t depend on ratios. Not many VPN providers support seeding ports these days

            Many (most? It’s just north America I guess) countries don’t give a shit about piracy and would never allow an ISP to give out ips and personal information to companies so they could sue. So, depending where you live, no VPN needed.

        Sometimes. Many of their IP ranges are blocked on streaming services because they know people are using them to get around regional blocks.
