      I don’t pirate them in the way you think I do. I buy blu-rays and rip them for convenient digital access. I don’t share the files with others.

      I disagree with piracy in general. Piracy and streaming services are the reason why movies suck these days. Plus, it’s impossible to find torrents in uncompressed blu-ray quality with the right language. Piracy sucks in every way possible when it comes to movies.

        I hope I don’t sound rude, but you are incorrect. Piracy is not the reason streaming and movies suck. In fact, low cost streaming resulted in a decrease in piracy.

        Piracy increases when access to media is severely and unjustly restricted. Piracy is a form of protest.
