It’s funny how much better the Russian torrent tracker «Rutracker» is for foreign movies and serials, this show included. I love foreign movies and shows, and sometimes I literally can’t pay to watch it.
Before reading the article I thought it would be because of the name, like when it was hard to find the (great) album "The Music" by the band "The Music" in the early 2000s.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I literally found it in two seconds on one of the most popular non-legit streaming sites. Checked two others, and it's there as well. The article author has no idea what they're talking about.
I may be ignorant, but streaming is not the same as torrenting, and The Pirate Bay is known for the latter.
The Pirate Bay is known for its championing piracy, in general. Those streaming sites are piracy. They also usually use the same source videos as those found on torrent sites; if not outright acting as a thin media player on top of torrents, in some cases.

> sometimes I literally can’t pay to watch it. Yup. Top 2 reasons I became a pirate again after not being a pirate since maybe 15 years ago: #1 I literally couldn't give someone money to watch/listen to what I wanted #2 I was paying someone money to watch/listen to something and then they removed it Even popular things like Saturday Night Live are still impossible to acquire legally in my country.

This is so weird, why are they doing this? That the localized audio might have stupid local licenses ok, (or not ok) - but even the subtitles?

How about just not consume their products then?
Right? "I don't like what you stand for or your views on certain topics, but I do want to enjoy the product you make, so I feel justified in not compensating you for partaking in the services you provide." Can I stiff my Uber driver if I don't agree with their politics? If I don't like their car? Can my boss not pay me for developing software if I didn't laugh enough at his jokes? We find it easy to say "no" in those…
TV and movies are part of pop culture and depending on your circle can be critical to have knowledge on for social reasons. If something is unavailable to you due to means outside of your control (licensing, internet speed, accessibility of UI, etc) then there's more justification to that than not paying your Uber driver based on politics.

"Forgot another point that became very annoying, the show is available but not with the subtitles I want and/or need. For example, watching a Swedish TV show on Spanish Netflix doesn't let me have English subtitles for example. But if I use Swedish Netflix, it would work, but technically breaking Netflix's ToS. Content rights have completely fucked up the user experience." I think you can set which subs (and audio tr…
The only regions that give you carte blanche (in general) language options are the anglophone countries and some EU regions.
But they're also geocoded (presumably, for travelers), so if you can get a VPN/tunnel that works, you can use another regions' primary languages. Max, last I checked, is the only one that outright limits usage outside of your region.
Never use public trackers (unless you're downloading Linux ISOs of course).
