@Justicar Not mentioning the legal routs are often expensive and not worth while. Even now they split in to multiple companies so if you want to watch modern tv or movies you need to have multiple subscribtions to watch it all.
Many people even say how some legal websites are retarded and hardly work so why pay for it to have worse product when somebody else does it free and even better.
@Stahesh yes, the lack of ease of access to legal content is one of the main arguments for piracy and has been since for ever. even now with streaming services, they are just becoming the new cable where you have to have multiple ones to get all the content instead of paying one fee for cable and getting 100 channels with all their content. it's ridiculous. i just read apple is losing over a billion a year on their streaming. netflix got into green just 2 years ago. disney, paramout...all losses
