    In some ways you can understand it. It is not unlike illegal downloading of material. HOWEVER. if they are going to do that, then they must ALSO make a way for people to legally stream their service at a reasonable cost.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    I don’t think this something they ‘must’ do, but it something they should consider, if they want their product to grow.

    I enjoy torrents as much as the next bloke, and in many cases even if the product was available at a reasonable cost, I would continue to use torrents because of their ease and availability. Removing the availability of those torrents, regardless of whether the content become easier to access legally elsewhere, would be the best way to stop me (and most others) accessing them.
