I do - bought it as soon as it was available. I used that as an example because I know its availability and because it's a bummer my friends can't easily watch it on my recommendation if they wanted to. (See also, "Soap" and "Barney Miller".)
To say nothing of the fact that, despite having access to what seems like an endless supply of content, it's really common to be unable to find a service that carries the movies or shows we'd like to see. I have a lengthy list of movies and TV shows that either have never made it to streaming, are only available for rental, or only have a partial showing. (e.g., only the first season of WKRP is available, it seems.)
Add to that the shit like Amazon adding ads even to the Prime subscription... eff that. Piracy is a lot more attractive if I can't even pay to get rid of ads.
