"Legal streaming" is just cable 2.0. Pretty soon every tier is going to have ads in order to "maintain quality of service and content", which is just corporate-speak for "imaginary money line go up forever".

This shit is why I pirate with zero guilt.

I kind of agree. Streaming from my NAS at home is legal and easy.

It's become much worse in recent years and more expensive for the privilege.

Another case of targeting piracy over a service issue. There was a time where Netflix had such a vast amount of content that my torrenting stopped all together. Good days.

It's ironic that crunchyroll is here.

They should understand more than anyone that they need to offer a good service, and piracy would be less of an issue.
