    The thing that always gets me isn’t necessarily the setup, it’s just the ease of access with Netflix or D+. If I want to re-watch all of Daredevil, it’s just there. I don’t have to download anything, it’s just ready whenever I feel like watching.

    It’s sheer laziness on my part, but I accept that.

      it’s just there

      Until it isn’t. Either because the license is too expensive, or runs out, other random streaming service got it, not available in your country …

      Piracy means you have it. Forever. Unchanged. No taksies-backsies. No (half a) dozen subscriptions to get access to even 80% of content.

        Or the fuckers decide that your tier can now only play in 720p or some shit and you have to shell out a fiver more. And repeat it in 3 years.
