I don’t pirate them in the way you think I do. I buy blu-rays and rip them for convenient digital access. I don’t share the files with others.
I disagree with piracy in general. Piracy and streaming services are the reason why movies suck these days. Plus, it’s impossible to find torrents in uncompressed blu-ray quality with the right language. Piracy sucks in every way possible when it comes to movies.

I hope I don’t sound rude, but you are incorrect. Piracy is not the reason streaming and movies suck. In fact, low cost streaming resulted in a decrease in piracy.
Piracy increases when access to media is severely and unjustly restricted. Piracy is a form of protest.
You’re wrong. If the best way for studios to make money is streaming, then restricing access to the corresponding streaming service is their best way to make money. And they will do it.
Pirates might believe they protest against this practice. But actually, they just fuel this system even further by not voting with their money for alternatives. And there ARE alternatives: buy blurays, go to theatres, buy merch.
Pirates will soon realize that these alternatives will also disappear if nobody pays for them. The only money that will be left will be the paying streamers. And this will consequently be the only way to enjoy movies in the future. Quiet the opposite of what pirates are protesting for, isn’t it?
I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but my shitty intuition is telling me this is a future cult classic.
Watched it yesterday and totally agree, Mark Ruffalos performance was a perfect out of touch elite.
Digitally also means Blu-ray. I’ve got my own theatre at home. And the picture and sound quality is much better too.
No it doesn’t, physical and digital releases are almost always separate dates, often the digital release being much earlier than DVD/Bluray

Protesting with piracy is just flawed logic.
Piracy is a form of protest and a very powerful one at that, but let’s we that argument aside for the moment.
Over the last seven years, Hollywood studios have decreased movie production. And yet their revenue and profit margins have actually increased!
They do this by underpaying writers, usurping copyrighted materials from other countries and using AI.
