Pirating content is so much easier than this
You don't even have to do that if you don't want to. There are so many good piracy streaming sites which are on par, if not better, with commercial ones.

So it's often been back to the high seas, matey... hell, I even buy CDs, now (it's easier for rarer stuff, and then remains forever mine).
