Streaming services: if we take the shows they purchased away from them, then they HAVE to subscribe to our service! There's nothing they can do if they want to watch their shows, piracy is soooo 2008.

Yeah, it's not like the Servarr application suite has made piracy literally easier than using streaming services.

The caveat is that it's still mostly just for moderately tech savvy individuals. It's easier for the people who have the knowledge to set it up, have access to decent trackers, a VPN, newsgroups, and hardware to run the suite on.

Piracy isn't hard, but there is a barrier of entry that most people won't overcome.
