I’ll go straight to the point:
- Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
- Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
- Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
- Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
- Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content
Between my server, NAS, fees, time spent and troubleshooting it costs me more to run my own setup than to subscribe to Netflix and Disney+.
I prefer the convenience of having my own digital collection.
