FYI Pluto-tv

2 Upvotes

I just wanted to watch a particular movie and went to Google it. I was suggested to get an HBO subscription or to stream it via Apple TV. Then I found this legit looking service called Pluto and it seems to stream it for free. What's the catch? Was I just lucky to get to a service where they happen to have this movie available for free? Would I be this lucky with any movies?

Can someone explain how this is works? I have found DIY vortex setups online, but I'm not seeing any pumps on this setup to push the water around, and honestly didn't see how the water is even getting into this. Thanks!

FYI A Few Internet Axioms and Laws

6 Upvotes
  1. Cunningham's Law: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it’s to post the wrong answer.”
  2. Erinmore's law: If something exists, someone has pointed a webcam at it and made it available on the internet for everyone to watch.
  3. The Fermi paradox (or Fermi's paradox) is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization and humanity's lack of contact with, or evidence for, such civilizations.
  4. The Flynn Effect is the substantial and long-sustained increase in both fluid and crystallized intelligence test scores measured in many parts of the world from roughly 1930 to the present day.
  5. Godwin's Law (or Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1" —​ that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism.
  6. Metcalfe's Law states that the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2).
  7. The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule, the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
  8. Picasso Principle.
  9. Poe's law, named after its author Nathan Poe, is an Internet adage reflecting the idea that without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism.
  10. The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.
