I haven't really downloaded any music since Spotify came to be, and even back when I did, I still had the balls to acknowledge that I was stealing. I am sorry, Scott.

Sure. Everybody
I tried to watch Game Of Thrones legally in France, Here is what happened
It's an unfortunate turn of events that pirated stuff is usually a better product than the legal. As in "don't have to suffer shitty unskippable ads and legal warning about illegal downloading on my legally purchased DVD". Really? I've bought your DVD and you're still trying to tell me not to pirate it? You think pirates will include that in their rips?

Pirate now, Blu-ray later is probably a pretty common situation on these forums though.

Yeah, hyperbole struck. It's more like having a bunch of companies offering shit for top dollar when it's worth pennies, if that. So instead of being legalized theft, it's really just a lot of shitty collusion between the (old) primary content delivery service for television shows. Thankfully a huge chunk of relevant media outlets stream their content now for minor fees. Just need to get those shitty "have a cable subscription to watch" holdouts to stop their nonsense.
I don't hate capitalism; I hate the shitty providers that have(had) a stranglehold on certain content and force you to pay 3-4x what you would in order to bundle in shit you don't want. Streaming is killing it, and thankfully so, however.

The fuck? I haven't owned a TV in 15 years. Let alone cable.
EZTV is a torrent site that is in a nice convenient list format.

if there were any women in your life, you would understand that having some form of TV subscription is necessity. but there aren't, so you don't.

What do I really need beyond Netflix, access to DirecTV online junk, HBO Go / Now whatever, torrents, Twitch, Streaming sites (legit and bootleg), a blu ray collection, more terabytes of media than I will ever watch, and 5 different sets of streaming hardware?
Nm, you are right. I should pay 100/mo for 300 shit channels and 40% commercials that are mind numbingly bad and about products I don't give a fuck about and will never purchase. Brilliant!
Edit: And you never told me what you do for a living after giving shit tax advice in the other thread.

Pick the outlier; use it as example of the mean.
If you -need- to have cable/direct TV in this day and age, you should probably try to hang around women who don't watch shit like the Housewives of Atlanta. Netflix alone handles 90% of most needs, not to mention that most people who do the streaming shit probably also have Amazon Prime so they can do that as well. Throw in HBO GO and there's the most you need for the non-trailer trash female population. Your mileage may, and apparently, varies.

Exactly how I live. Netflix (not mine), Prime (mine), Hulu (not mine), HBO Go (mine), Showtime (mine). Done deal.
Plus a firestick.

Well I rarely ever use the Hulu account so we can ignore that, I pay $50 a year for prime ($4 a month), $15 for HBO which included Showtime, Cinemax, etc. (Cablevision cut me a deal, it's only "on demand" viewing though, I can't watch the channels live), and I just mooch my sister's Netflix account.
So in reality I'm paying $20 a month + internet.

secrets to happy married life: get HGTV and animal planet. i'm perfectly happy cordless and downloading shit but women need those 2 channels
the only downside to HGTV is when your wife sees some goddamn remodeling shit she thinks you can do. fucking up the job isn't the answer either, that just leads to expensive ass contractors

First you claim live TV is for women and then you claim live sports ...
I cut the cord in winter of 2001 and never looked back. All of my shows download automatically within minutes of them finishing airing. Even before that we were early adopters of TiVo and never watched a single show we didn't timeshift.
She can name any show out there, I can go type it into my software and automagically have every past episode downloaded and all future ones downloading as they air.
She can pause or stop a show and pick it back up on any device anywhere in the world. It marks what she has watched already and shows her only new episodes. She can toss a show into shuffle mode and watch Friends all night.
People claiming you can't cut the cord because of women just aren't doing it correctly.
As for live sports there isn't a sport out there you can't livestream to your TV with only 30 seconds of googling or some already bookmarked subreddits. If you want to there are super easy methods to get legit options as well that are much cheaper than an entire year of cable with an expensive sport package.
