Yes, but not a massive amount. I pay annually and it works out to about $7-8 a month for 50mbps of bandwidth and unlimited downloads. Then use *arr apps and sabnzbd to manage everything.

I mean it's completely valid if you find that to be a better deal than torrenting, but I can use my full 500 mbps bandwidth for free.

It depends on how you look at it.

You pay for your internet. Isn't that you paying to pirate?

If it is then it's only a factor of cost. He pays slightly more for Usenet access and internet access and then he pirates.

If it's not then it's not a factor of cost and it's only a factor of pedantism.

So you pay for piracy

Pay a subscription to watch subscription content for free!

Yes? If I could get everything in one place then I would happily pay for that. I don't pirate to save money. Saving money is just a nice sideeffect. I pirate because it's literally more convenient than juggling 15 different services.

I mean, I don't use the service but, $7-8 a month that gives you access to everything versus 14 to $16 a month per streaming service on everything else. It sounds like they're still getting a steal at a more convenient rate.

Being said, yeah there is plenty of free options that could be being done as well so there is that argument
