I'm not the original person in the thread, but I'm pretty anti-piracy. However, the bulk of my media spending is on musicians (with direct buying from an artist being my primary means of purchase).

With that said, I absolutely understand why so many people pirate movies/tv. Streaming for those is an absolute shit show.

The thing that kills me is there is no way to buy movies/tv shows without DRM. I don't want my content locked to some service that can dissappear at any point.

Music, Games, books/comics, all have DRM free options (although games are more miss than hit in that regard).

Yeah, definitely a place where society is lacking.
