Frankly this doesn't have much to do with not being able to watch a specific show. I think this is due to people deeming media companies, same with how grocery companies are shifting, as companies you are free to steal from because they steal from us. Nobody cares if you steal from Disney or Warner Bros because they are giant trillion dollar companies. Same with how Loblaws, Sobeys are shifting. Stealing from them becomes something that is not frowned upon by your local populace and in some cases encouraged. I suspect as we advance further alone this timeline it will only get worse. People just have ZERO empathy for trillion dollar companies. The only recourse is a extremely small chance you get caught. And even then if the police also don't care, nobody will enforce it. It's just rather hard to be on the side of MPAA against single mom of 2 torrenting The Grinch for her kids to watch. And everytime you boot up Disney Plus and see the new Marvel movie "pre-release" for $30 that opinion just grows and grows.

    >.. without media piracy lawsuits against their customers. Huh? How can you pirate from Apple when they're not the IP owners? I don't remember Apple being the owner of the IP on iTunes, but the music studios were: Sony, BMG, Universal, etc. Apple was a middle-man.

      > Apple was a middle-man Who negotiated with IP owners for unprecedented music availability, then removal of DRM. With Apple TV, they are IP owners for some content.
