My friend won't pirate movies for security purposes (hexbear.net)

I've got a friend I know from college. We where gonna do a movie night and I offered her access to my server that contains all my very legally attained media.

Said she'll have to decline because of "security concerns with work and everything". Apparently if she watches Shakma the dastardly Chinese spies will steal company secrets.

The absolute state of Americans.

If she is employed by DoD then they scared the bujeezus out of her that she will go to jail if she commits a thought crime about China.

If she is employed in private sector, then her employer scared the bujeezus out of her that they will sue her and her extended family for one trillion dollars.

The threats make people unwilling to test boundaries.

This is almost certainly true. The unfortunate truth behind an amusing encounter. Basically bullied hard enough to give Jeff Bezos $3.99 to watch a movie made 40 years ago.
