Is It Okay to Illegally Stream Movies?
i-d.co
As streaming services delete their own films and DVDs of classics go out of print, some of cinema’s most interesting movies are illegal to watch. Should you do it?

      I never got that. A download is a copy. It’s not taking the file away from the hoster.

      If you download a car all the car manufacturers lose is somebody that is either too poor or too cheap to purchase a car from them.

      Obviously that is a multi hundred trillion dollar loss but aside from that, what is the actual harm in downloading a car?

      Seriously, I pay for cable TV, I have subscriptions to Hulu, Disney Plus, and Netflix. Anything I watch or listen to that I think I might want to watch or listen to again is in my vault. I’ll gladly stream Futurama and Wednesday. If anything happens where I need to unsubscribe for one of those services because of their actions, I will be missing nothing.
