I stopped pirating in college when I got a job and was making enough money to pay for movies I wanted to watch. But I miss almost every single one of the points listed so much so that I have begun purchasing dvd or Blu-ray copies of movies and shows I would otherwise stream, and ripping the content for my own use. It is an absurd amount of work, but the end result is a better experience than streaming in almost every way.

If I could legally download movies and shows (paying full price for them) I absolutely would.

Mind elaborating?

"Look, doing something illegal offers a lot of benefits for me! I must be a genius"

You’re not considering that many of these points are in no way illegal to provide as a streaming service.

I didn't say it. but the comment we are replying to says "piracy offers:", so direct your complaint to that guy.

I agree with you. How about launch a better service instead of pointing out how breaking the law is beneficial to the breaker. Duh it always is, I wonder why??

Ah sorry i misread you.
