When I want to watch content the first thing I do is check to see if it's available to buy on itunes. If it is I pay, if not I go to pirate bay and download it, simple as that. I've just started watching The Killing season 3. I was only introduced to the series a few months back so I bought seasons 1 and then 2. Season 3 isn't available to buy so unfortunately I'm pirating it. To be honest, for the money, I'd rather have it on itunes, I don't have to search for a decent version and I can watch the first episode while it's still streaming. As a bonus it gets added to my 'collection' in itunes. I'd actually like to reward good content with my money. I've often wondered what would happen if the pirate bay had a tip jar for each download. The money would go to the company that had created the content. Obviously it's complicated, HBO for instance, being tied up in cable contracts, would probably not be able to actually collect the money. There's lots of talk amongst those who pirate about how they would pay for it if they could. I for one would like to put my money where my mouth is.
