I used to use megaupload when I was much younger. It was fast, reliable and easy to use, compared to other ones (4shared, RapidShare for example). MU had probably the best bandwidth for upload and download.
As I got older, I can afford something. I went ahead and got a Netflix account to celebrate my first internship (yeah, literally, I thought that was the best way to celebrate...). But a lot of great movies are missing from Netflix and I didn't feel like renting one from Amazon Videos or Youtube store. $3.99, $5.99? Meh. Only a few times because I was desperate to see watch them.
From time to time, I was hoping MU was still alive. I would find a link easily. Putlocker took the lead after MU went down. That's probably the most popular domain to view illegal contents.
I prefer to have high-quality video. As I grow older, I am side with the music and film industry. I want to pay. I still go to theater for awesome films. I don't know if people have studied how bundle HBO, movie on demand into cable TV ever helped subscribers to reduce the incentive to download illegal contents. My guess is some good percentage of individuals probably feel less motivated to get illegal contents if they could just find them from their on-demand channel.
I know making a film or making a music album is a big investment. But ultimately, owning a DVD is going to sound old and useless in a decade. Everyone wants instant play, or digital copy on their device. I am glad the music industry is becoming more open to streaming service (thanks to iPod and iTunes - though Apple wasn't really the first one to do that, but Apple pushed it). I can listen to free legal, high quality music on Spotify, 8track, soundcloud, pandora. I am just waiting for the film and tv industry to become more open :) I really hope that one day, I can turn on my computer, and select a movie I want to see and I get to see it.
Last, I still like going to movie theater. I don't mind if new movies won't be available right away on Netflix until the new movies are away from theater.
