I used to buy cd's every week. The music got shitty, like most of it out now. So now I download to see if it's any good before I consider purchasing. If it's a good CD, then I will purchase it. Don't make 1 decent song and package it with 12 other tracks of shite

Baloney. You can listen on Spotify, which is legit. Answer honestly, after illegally downloading a CD, how often do you go out and buy it? How about movies? You just watch them once illegally to see if they are any good?

Honestly, I haven't bought many at all. Like I stated the music out is shite.

I don't stream any music. I may listen to something on you tube from time to time.

For Movies I watch on Netflix and Kodi, I don't torrent movies.

Now, I'm sure you are perfect, since you are calling me out. I have nothing to hide. I admitted my reason for downloading. My cable bill is rather high in my opinion, so I do pay for services. I'm not using someone's espn log in or streaming TV on kodi.

Like was said, it isn't nearly worth the extra effort to torrent stuff when streaming is so convenient. Spotify is like $9 a month and anything that isn't there I can probably find on youtube. The key to the entertainment industry combating piracy was to come up with a model that made it the less convenient option, and they pretty much have. Actually possessing media has become an anachronism.

The only kind of legit reason for torrent anymore is for the audiophile geeks who want lossless content, but most people don't give a frick about that anyway.
