        The mitochondria enables most, if not all, piracy.

        One could say it powers most, if not all, piracy.

              It’s fascinating, I’ve heard it online and in person from multiple nationalities.
              In our case it’s not so special because my mother tongue is German…

              Your comment about speaking Austrian reminded me of one of my many visits to Germany. I was at the Oktoberfest in München and my group got chatting to a local, whereupon he proudly proclaimed: “Here… you are not in Germany; you are in Bavaria!” Made us chuckle :-)

                Austria is atleast a real country (other than Bavaria) and from a recent travel to Vienna I can tell that Austrian is - while closely related to German - a language on its own.

      The real enablers are the guy who make the movies and tv shows in the first place. If they don’t make stuff, no one would pirate that stuff.

        Mostly because they don’t make much currency from their shit and they don’t respect or care for the cloak that takes all it can and then some.* They may STFU about it for the little pennies they’re pissed on with but cite just one such loudly whining about any of the subject in hand. If you manage to dig something up then be sure I can easily can that to a circumstance that was obvious but flew over your imgination of a brain.

        *Like subject in hand.

      Atleast in countries with some sort of internet access. For example Cuba enjoyed current movies and shows despite a strict US/Western embargo through a combination of smuggled USB pen drives and a peer-to-peer radio network.
