Ooooh....wait... by streaming you mean netflix, etc...

Can we please invent a word for streaming pirated content?

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

I think it should be streaming.

Netflix etc. should be creaking, like streaming but slower, less content, less pressure, etc.

I can think of a fine word that also brings to mind flowing water - torrenting!

But ironically that isn't the same as streaming

Popcorn Time streamed using bittorrent, so it's not impossible :)

So does Stremio

Streaming would work

Strailing could work well. A combination of streaming and sailing, as in sailing the high seas.

Oceaning or seaing. Because pirates don't sail streams.
