Torrents are hard, too. To avoid getting sued one needs to pay a VPN subscription (Paying a business for a service, kind of ironic for a pirate). And even then, people have been caught because they use identifying information to sign up for the VPN. This problem is solved by using a VPN that doesn't keep logs, but how does one know which service to trust? Furthermore, once the data is downloaded, one has to manage it: dealing with hardware failures and the sheer data size. The data can be uploaded to the cloud, but then one risks deletion for copyright violation. The workaround for this is encryption, but then one has the hassle of managing encryption keys at the risk of losing access to their data.
