Oh, I was adding a pertinent point of discussion in a discussion board. It is fun. I suggest you try it.

Snarky shit aside...

Why should I pay to be treated as a criminal, when pirating is better in every way and costs nothing?

There is no option of "Pay for digital copy of show that permits format/time shifting and backup for as long as I want, with no DRM". Like GOG. Doesn't exist in the pay realm.
