"If I can't have it exactly the way that I want it, I'm going to acquire it illegally."

An interesting and recurring theme in piracy, to be sure.

Well it seems to be the only thing that drives improvement in media licensing. Without piracy I suspect iTunes and Spotify would have come decades later, if at all. I suspect the same can be said for Steam. Piracy really is an availability problem.

That's not what I said. I'm not very picky at all, I have two requirements for streaming services: have the content I want and do not advertise to me. There are several services that satisfy this requirement: Netflix, HBO Go, Google Play Music. I subscribe to all three.

Calling something a DVR when it doesn't have FF is also interesting. If it's "ON DEMAND" with easy bookmarking, that's fine, but it's not a DVR.
