“Please use legal paid services” yeah I would if

1. They actually had the content I’d like to buy available for purchase
2. I actually get a copy to keep and not rent for an indefinite period of time until the rights holder and / or vendor forgets to renew and it gets automatically removed.

I would use legal alternatives… Had they the content I want…

Right now, if I want to follow an anime in Europe? Maybe first season is in netflix, but second could be in crunchyroll (maybe), then half of the third is in an obscure and unknown service… And the other half is in Amazon prime.

I want to pay the legal alternative, what I won’t do is subscribe to 6 different streaming services a month, that won’t guarantee the availability of a show even after the first month and watching ads forcedly.

Piracy is a service problem. And with streaming, we have a huge service problem.
