I'm in the same boat. I really don't have an issue with paying for content, but I want to have full control over my media files and build a big library, and there is absolutely no way I could afford to pay for every piece of media. Nor would doing so even make sense. For the majority of media I save, the creators are long since dead. So why go out of my way to make a tithe to some giant media conglomerate that owns the rights? I'd much rather support filmmakers by going to the theater once in a while. And when I say library, I mean that in the sense that I save all this stuff because I want to be able to curate it and share it decades down the line. Our current era of seemingly infinite connection and availability may not last forever. I feel a bit like Noah filling the ark sometimes.
