If only that were true, I'd be actually be happy to subscribe to them. I've realized that streaming services are only useful if your problem is "I need entertainment, find me something nice to watch", but mostly useless if you have a specific title to watch. Majority of the time there is no streaming service that offers the titles I want to watch.
Always start with a conversation...
"you have never seen that movie ? let's play it"
"wait I don't see it on netflix, neither on prime or disney or...I should have bought the vhs/DVD/blueray at the time."
Not sure if you can find most +2y old movies on torrent platforms, last time I checked I couldn't find what I was looking for. I lament the death of local videoclubs where you could rent movies from any decade.
In fact I am always disappointed how small they libraries actually are as I am used to something else.
Not exactly a model I wish to be followed by other countries.
You absolutely can. Just maybe not on the public trackers.
I can find torrents for anything I like, it's really easy. I guess if you don't do it often, you don't know where to look. But piratebay is still up and a good start.
