I've heard there's a service called PirateBay that offers movies free of DRM. Maybe people considering being Sony customers in the future should give it a try.

The Pirate Bay is considered one of the worst pirate sites now. Of course, if you can find what you want, then you can, but any piracy community will recommend against it due to nonexistent moderation (eg. against viruses), poor navigation, and lack of uploads due to them not issuing new uploader accounts for several years now.

I'm curious. What are the best sites nowadays? Still torrents, right?

I used to be in the know but switched to legit things a while back so I wouldn't have to explain how dad is getting Bluey episodes.

That's copyright infringement. They do not have the rights to distribute the movies.

Neither does Sony (anymore), apparently. They still sold them.

and redefined the terms of "sold" in their contract to mean "rent, with a one-time fee"

it is more immoral to sell something you can't legally "sell" (permanently and irrevocably transfer ownership of a product), than to pirate that content (which has no level of expected payment)

Sony sold them while they still had the license with a clause that they could remove them at any time.

You're right, we should strive for compliance with copyrights and distribution licenses in our personal lives.

they don't host or distribute movies, they distribute torrents/magnets.. the speakeasy might be illegal, but telling people where to find one is not.

But you can actually purchase them at 100% discount. And you can own as long as you want. Seems a much better deal.
