Let's see. I live in the middle east, subscribing to Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime. I was in the middle of watching something and it was removed from Netflix. No problem - I'll simply open up CBS Streaming Whatever, only to be hit by a geofence.
Which form of thievery is the right one for me now. Do I use a VPN to connect to servers in another country, thereby continuing to watch my show on Netflix? Do I VPN to the service (in this case CBS) to watch it in the US, just because? As a paying customer, I frankly don't care. I open up qbittorrent, and I download the show. Why - because I can no longer pay for it in my country.
Many of us simply want to watch things. Whenever a company makes that difficult, we pirate. Once you open the door to an alternative, easy to use distribution mechanism, frankly it's hard to close.
