Yo ho ho matey. Ironically, it was location/blackout restrictions on stuff like NHL tv that I was willing to pay for but simply couldn’t watch that led me down the path of free live streams. The business screwed themselves out of a subscriber with their own DRM
The Lower Decks/SNW crossover references a similar thing with Orions. Everyone assumes they’re all pirates and scoffs at the idea of an Orion science vessel until Tendi says “well somebody had to build all the starships!”

Also conveniently ignoring that a large portion of those people are veterans who served honorably then got discarded by the government and the VA.

After Janeway’s giant mug of coffee it’s “captains log, supplemental.”
