I am always surprised that even tech-savy ppl I know mostly are completely unaware of torrenting. They all use their streaming websites with tons of popups and ads and complain when they have to find a new one every now and then, I don't get why they just won't torrent even after showing them.
Edit: by streaming sites I mean pirate ones
Because torrenting is strongly enforced by the law where I live, in Germany.
In france neither are enforced afaik
