I am out of touch with piracy. I was never a media hoarder but I can't stand ads and the quality of local tv has always been shocking. I used to have a media centre with a tuner and timeshift/ad skip in the mid-2000s but was increasingly getting my tv shows from ezrv. Then I had a login with a cool nzb site but they shut down. I was accessing Netflix over my own vpn long before it was offered outside north america. Streaming was awesome for awhile and I have been happily subscribing to multiple services for years. As the number of services increased and the cost got higher I started putting them in rotation much to the annoyance of the rest of the family. Not looking forward to piracy to be honest. Going to have to relearn where best to find stuff. It was nice having content just there for the family whenever they wanted it and not having to do anything but make some payments.
