@dankeykang And then the same #Contentmafia has the audacity to complain about people who just want to chug a file into #VLC and be done with it.

I know for a fact at least a dozen movies who didn't get any #rerelease - #Streaming or #disc - that are thus "#unobtainable" outside of #UsedMarket and thus #scalpers and #piracy.

#Scalpers Work With #Hackers to Liberate T#icketmaster's ‘Non-Transferable’ #Tickets
By reverse-engineering how Ticketmaster and #AXS actually make their electronic tickets, scalpers have essentially figured out how to regenerate specific, genuine tickets that they have legally purchased from scratch onto infrastructure that they control. In doing so, they are removing the anti-scalping restrictions put on the tickets by Ticketmaster and AXS.
