    Around 2010 there was this “pledge” where a website people basically collected a list of things they’d require in order to stop pirating tv shows and movies and I think it came down to:

    Provide easy access to large library Provide multi language support, must offer original language Allow downloads/offline viewing Be reasonably priced

    Plus some additional stuff I can’t remember.

    When Netflix got big, they basically covered it all. Then everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

    Back to piracy then. 15$ for put.io ✨🙏

      So when it comes to watching on my TV is there a reason why put.io is better than just plugging and HDMI cord from my computer to my TV and watching it via that?

        I don’t know, perhaps I’m not getting the question.

        It’s basically a streaming service with a library that you fill yourself. It doesn’t matter if you use a laptop, app or streaming dongle to watch the content. I’d say that it’s easier to watch content if you already own a dongle like a Chromecast though.
