I agree, since Netflix and others are around I don't see much point in spending time and effort on finding a pirate copy of movie X that I can't find on the streaming platforms. i typical move on.

There's definitely a trend of moving back to pirating, just because all the studios and channels are opting for their own service and removing content from Netflix. I don't want to pay for Netflix, Peacock, HBO, Disney+, etc. Not to mention, the tools for finding, downloading, and locally streaming content has become super easy.

Can confirm.

We had a shared-house discussion recently about this. Everyone put their hand up to pay for one streaming service, except for the people who said they'd prefer to pirate their video because it's so painful to pay for.

They did not do the same for music because it's unnecessary - everyone has their own Spotify/Apple subscription that gives them access to all the music.

Heads up that a Spotify family plan is cheaper for 6 people than 6 individual plans.

What happens to that if one of us moves out and has to go back to a single plan?
