Mainly my reason for not pirating is legal, but I think it’s actually cheaper to pay $2-$4 to rent something than spend the money on hard drive space and a faster internet connection.

probably not. you can just delete the file when you're done if you don't want to watch it again. 50 GB is more than enough to maintain a queue of a few movies/shows. if you have enough bandwidth to stream legally without buffering, you have (roughly) enough to do the same with torrents. most tv show torrents are just rips from legitimate streaming sites anyway.
