Piracy is bad.
Piracy is bad.
It is illegal and immoral. It steals the rightful intellectual property of directors and developers who are only trying to make a living. If you want to be a thief so badly, then rob a federal bank.

There is no way to buy media forever. Even DVDs go bad and get worn out, then you're back buying something you already own.
Piracy is not immoral, it is the free market pendulum that always forces media to care the tiniest bit of thought toward consumer experience.
I started pirating stuff I have subs and apps for, it's simply a horrible experience right now. These episodes of this season are on this one, and these are on another service that I have to switch to.
Now which service has the other episodes? Oh now they moved to a different app, and I'm still paying the old app.
The vast majority of time I'll just go torrent and plex something than chase it to many different apps, even if I have those subscriptions

This kind of thing just encourages 🏴☠️🚢 the rest of the season IMO.
In almost all cases it's just easier to just grab the whole box set, pop it on a personal media server and not worry about the streaming service faff - or even look for a modern "pout lock car" equivalent to stream from.
It was nice when everything was on Netflix and HBO, before all the entertainment companies decided they want a piece of the streaming pie, with prices continuing to increase. I used to follow the cordcutters community back on tiddeR and they were starting to get sick of this too.
