Fact is that piracy is the only way us here in Australia can even get access to some things, but even if it wasnt why the hell should, for example, I pay $50 a month for pay tv just to watch a few episodes of a tv show?
Say I only watch Game of Thrones (which looking at what tv series are out atm is about all I would be watching), that means I'm paying $150 just to watch each season as it comes out, that is disgusting and completely unreasonable when the whole season will be only $40 when it comes out on dvd.
Sure, maybe pay tv or netflix is ok for those that are glued to the screen, but for those of us that only watch one or two programs it is a completely unreasonable cost, and a major reason for piracy of these programs
While I agree with the brunt of your post, you do know that Netflix costs like $12 a month. Quite reasonable in my opinion. And I don't get to watch it that often.
