I second this. I found out about Penflip earlier today and was interested in using it for my fiction writing hobbies. But the 50 repos plan is an overkill for me. I would also like to see some smaller plans, maybe for 10 repos?
There are protests organized in London, Paris, Berlin, Helsinki, The Hague, Rome, SF, Riga, Krakow etc. If you wish to join one of them, please check out here:
I have a Netflix connection and I am in Finland. 98% of the time, when I search for a movie/documentary/series on Netflix, it's unavailable for streaming (mostly because the content for Netflix Finland is far less than that for US). Then, I have to head over to PirateBay to get the stuff. It's the fastest way. I could order a DVD from Amazon UK or Germany, but then it would take at least a week.
As long as content producers and distributors fail to find a faster way to distribute their offerings, I think piracy will continue and grow.
