Please don’t give Amazon money for a shitty android stick. It’s rather locked down too and the GUI is ad riddled. A lot of playback bugs that I don’t have on a competitor product. There’s many better alternatives with less god awful remote controls as well.

Just make sure you’re not buying some generic Chinese thing with a compromised linux kernel.

All pirates drink water. What is water doing to stop piracy?

To be frank it’s not Amazon’s problem.

Its the content publishers problem.

And Amazon isn’t enabling this, they’re just making an Android device.

The users are putting software onto the device.

This article sets a dangerous precedent. That if Amazon doesn’t lock the firestick down like Apple that they’re enabling piracy.

Its not Googles nor Microsoft’s responsibilities either. They helped, probably solely for money, but they’re not obligated to continue to update their DRM.

This article should have framed how DRM repeatedly hasn’t worked.

Piracy is morally correct, copying from greedy companies that spy on their customers for shady purposes and take advantage of their position to impose unfair terms. If buying no longer means owning something then pirating cannot be considered theft
