I mean, I know app piracy is kinda dead. But how about if I just want .mkvs for Movie, TV, Anime? .epubs for books? Music files?

Are these still gonna work? Do you think they’ll go full draconian and kill piracy outright?

VLC? Torrent Apps? VPNs?

    So I’m going to put this out there, why watch this content on a Android that we will have less and less control over as time goes on?

    Grab a laptop with Linux on it and go wild. I now have a computer hooked up to my TV and I don’t have to worry about any of Google’s bullshit

      One of my co-workers has no computer, laptop or desktop, and does all his digital-seas sailing on his phone.
      I’ve been trying to convince him to finally get around to actually getting something low cost, but his “setup” has been working for him for years now

      I know there’s many people who cannot understand why others like to watch media on their phones, but that is how it is. You basically have that device anywhere with you, screens are big enough to watch stuff on.

      Especially if you have saved movies/series on it, no matter if piracy or not, you got sonething to watch on that long train ride to work, or in your lunch break, or when you wait for some appointment.

      Source: me, I am one of those. I am not taking my laptop everywhere. Even the smallest feasibly usable laptop is much bigger than my phone.
