> Because you have a God-given right to any show you want to see?

Practically, speaking, yes. What are you going to do about it? You can keep railing about the morality of piracy but it's been 17 years since Napster and still nobody cares.

Thanks to Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube, I don't know anyone who pirates music anymore. The solution is right there.

> No one gives two shits about you furiously torrenting the shows you think you're entitled to.

You just gave two comments about exactly that.

The important thing is that you've found a way to feel superior to pretty much everyone.

The rationalizations to artificially make content unavailable, difficult to consume, or only available at extremely high prices is a part of the equation.

Fair.

My point is that I think these people are leaving money on the table, because weak humans will wind up pirating rather than wait weeks for a DVD to arrive.

We agree on that point. Only the most inept of businesspeople would ignore human nature.
