yeah pretty much, I've even found myself pirating things that are actually on the services I pay for because playing a file is just a better user experience

I also find collecting to be satisfying, there's something nice about knowing that Netflix can't just decide to take Arcane away from me

Other advantage of piracy is that you can actually get the quality you want.

In Australia I can’t get anything better than 1080 for some unknown reason, it’s not because it doesn’t exist in higher quality - torrent sites often list 4K resolution files. Presumably it’s the potato-quality internet in this country.
