I disagree. First of all, all the torrents of recent shows are very, very fast. Much faster than any streaming service in fact. Getting well over a meg per second is a common case. For old episodes you do hold a point, although waiting a few hours or even half a day is generally still more convenient than not getting the episodes at all or waiting through countless FBI warnings. Now then again, there is Netflix. Its not too bad. Its only available in the US, too. For example, if i want to follow game of thrones, i can wait a year or two until its available in my country. For some other shows, they'll just never be shown in my country. Or I can pirate it and reduce the wait from a year to 10 minutes. I'd gladly pay up to $100 a month for quality, ads free streaming to anything recent and I think i would be over paying it. But the offer just isnt even there, free, $1, $100, $1000, $10000 it doesn't matter, there is no true offer available. What we have here are some streaming content provided by the cable/dsl operators or tv channels which comprises tv shows that are ~5 to 10 years old and movies that are 30 to 5 years old, and a slim catalog of them too, generally the crappiest. So I pirate the stuff. I feel a little bad about it, but it's that or nothing, and I won't be ok with nothing. I shall also mention that I would want to be able to stream the stuff on any device/system or optionally save it for offline view, although id settle with streaming only as well.
