The critical point which everyone (including OP) missed is that on pirated websites : you'd get ALL movies under one roof. Even with streaming, you now have 10s

The critical point which everyone (including OP) missed is that on pirated websites : you'd get ALL movies under one roof. Even with streaming, you now have 10s of subscription services : Netflix, HBO Go, Disney/Hulu, Amazon Prime etc.
- CWuestefeld 9y agoRoku solves part of this problem. While you do still need to maintain separate subscriptions to these services, Roku has a search function that shows you everywhere that a given movie is available (and for how much, if applicable), and lets you directly open that "channel" to that program.
- dkasper 9y agoYeah, same thing in the Apple ecosystem. iOS/AppleTV has the "TV" app which shows you where you can stream or buy something.
- qwerty456127 9y agoYes! This is another one I've forgotten to mention. And there also are many old and exotic movies/songs/books/games that aren't legally available anywhere.
