GeekySonic 1,150 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 The answer is in the question, my friend. 2 Check out my voice-acting demo reels on Casting Call Club, if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,770 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Well, piracy is piracy, but I don't think of you any less for it. It's just about as bad as the thousands of people watching the newest episodes via livestream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilgoreth 1,915 January 16, 2017 Author Share January 16, 2017 The answer is in the question, my friend.Well I guess I'll wait till next December to watch season seven of mlp when it comes on DVD then.

Guest January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Wait so should I stop pirating them then? Not my quote to answer, but considering it's a serious matter and a response is dire, yes. Piracy, in a nutshell - is illegal and you could potentially have charges pressed against you if you get caught. Depending on where you are, the charges vary and with privacy being a thing of the past in the online world, you're more prone to being discovered. ISP's can track your activity to what you do online too. You really are better off waiting for the DVD's to come out or something. I don't know if there's box sets of MLP, but it's better than having an infringement notice in your mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varrack 1,080 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 (edited) I'm convinced that the majority, or at least a large portion of the fandom watches the episodes for free through sites like Dailymotion, so if you are pirating them, you're definitely not alone.

Listen I don't have cable and Hasbro doesn't have them available to watch for free. So yeah pirating is my only option. Signature made by Kyoshi.

I guess I'll end up in jail for pirating. You know if Hasbro did put the episodes on their website to watch for free then I'd watch them their. But they don't so pirating is my only option.

Olsen1987 133 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 nope, not really wrong.new MLP episodes are so hard to come by legally outside of US, that it's basically your only option to watch them.here in norway we still only have season 1-4 (one time we only had season 2 and 3), i think we're still missing the last EqG movie as well (maybe, haven't checked for a while).can't get them through itunes either, because itunes doesn't even offer one single tv show here.but i'm currently using a VPN to trick netflix into believing i'm in the US. also: internet quality, the connection can sometimes be so bad that even 240p movies struggles with buffering.so no, it's not wrong if you have reasons for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Pip 775 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Pirating you can get in trouble for distributing, other than that idk. But alot of people do it so its not really a big deal, just when you do have money consider sending some of it hasbro's way as a thank you for the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminance 2,186 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 If it's for personal viewership then I don't see what's wrong. To help support Hasbro, buy some of their merchandise and that way you can still feel alright. Most of Hasbro's dough come through the toy aisles and to watch episodes of internet/pirated/streamed MLP doesn't negatively effect them at all if you don't plan to make profits out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Regulus 2,769 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Legally it's wrong. Morally, I think it's a lot more ambiguous. You don't have to pay to watch the episodes on TV, and we consider that perfectly legal. That's because TV is funded through advertisements--so indirectly, by watching it live, you are paying for it. Your viewership produces revenue for the channel, and some portion of that is given back to the writers and producers. However, if you're like me, then you always mute the TV whenever the advertisements are playing anyway. So, you're not really watching them, and there's no real point to having advertisements in the first place. In addition, recording the episodes on your DVR is perfectly legal. When you do this, you can easily fast forward through the advertisements, like they're not even there. When you add in the fact that, on a show like MLP, almost all the advertisements are targeted towards children, it's a little difficult to see how pirating the show can be considered morally wrong. The show is, more or less, really just a clever advertisement in and of itself. It's meant to sell toys to little girls, and many bronies end up liking the show and buying those toys too. In the end, I see very little harm in pirating MLP in particular. 2 Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,432 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 (edited) IvE only ever watched mlp episodes on pirating sites. I don't have cable. What do you think about it? It's legally bad, but since you're out of options, I believe you get a pass .

sweetolebob18 728 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 For financial reasons I don't have cable. I watch it on YouTube. I soothe my conscious by the thought that I've bought the DVDs, so I didn't really steal them-just previewed them before buying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 (edited) I mean it is legally wrong. If you want to support the show, than you should at least buy the dvds or episodes on itunes or something. Edited January 16, 2017 by cmarston1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath 2,486 January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Ponies get to feel better about themselves by posting how evil he is for pirating I suppose. Even though he said he doesn't have cable, which is completely legitimate, and that he might buy the dvds How is the fact that he might buy the dvds relevant at all? I mean, there's an equally big chance that he won't buy them so I honestly fail to see your point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
