Post-apocalyptic horror film ‘28 Years Later’ is doing well at the box office, with $100 million in revenue in its first two weeks. The latest installment in the horror franchise also renewed interest in the previous films, with ‘28 Weeks Later’ showing up in various streaming charts. The original ‘28 Days Later’ is less widely available due to licensing issues, so many have turned to pirate sites instead.

    Piracy is a service issue.

      Piracy is also an ethics issue, for everyone enriching spotify while it’s CEO invests €600m in military start-ups

        Fortunately 28 years doesn’t make a single reference to 28 weeks, so you really can just enjoy it as a sequel to 28 days.

    Oh yeah, I started seeding it when there was a surge of people wanting to rewatch it before the new one and it wasn’t on streaming sites yet. Easily my biggest ratio, nearly 2000 ratio now.

      I started writing this comment about how my highest seeding ratios seem random, but actually now that i look at it i do see a pattern: YIFY versions of older movies. Maybe those are the ones less available? Some possibly are public domain?

    I mean, it’s the preferable timeline to what we’re experiencing now in the US.

      I wasn’t a fan of that one. It wasn’t terrible, just not as creative and original as 28 Days Later. That said, yes, I would 100% watch it again lol
