One thing that has surprised me on HN is that even the wealthy pirate, but perhaps not for financial reasons.

  Not for financial reasons at all - it's convenience, the ability to get releases earlier, and the lack of DRM-free video on legal sites.

    I thought Google & Apple both supplied DRM-free movie downloads. I have the entire Star Trek original series (among other series & movies) from iTunes loaded on my Plex server with zero DRM problems. For me, piracy has never been as convenient as clicking a button on iTunes. Everyone likes to save money though... :)

      As far as I understand, nobody has drm free movie downloads. Apple's are most definitely drm protected and I'm near certain that Google's are, too.

        You seem to be right. I wonder why I am able to play my iTunes videos on non-Apple devices...
