| Topic | Movies being released on streaming services are a boon to pirates |

You just need to know where to look but sites have them just streaming, no download required. But services like Hulu or Netflix are more secure and easier to access and like $10-$15 a month shouldn't be a backbreaking rate for the amount of viewing material you gain access to via legal means. Back when you had to pay like $5 per movie to rent it or outright buy the movie there was a little more incentive to pirate since those can add up if you like to watch a lot of movies but that's not really the case anymore. As far as pirating movies still in theaters, yeah I suppose releasing them on streaming services is easier for the pirates, but the same rationale applies here. Movie tickets plus concessions could rack up a sizeable tab so there was more of an incentive to pirate if you really wanted to watch the movie. But these days a month of paying for a streaming service is cheaper than a night out at the movies so them being released on said services, while it's easier for the pirates to upload them, it also lessens the incentive for the consumer to pirate at all --- https://imgur.com/TFF3Nn8 Joe Burrow, the legend ...
