I'm in college, and a lot of striminals don't pirate streaming services like Netflix, but instead pirate live sports streams, because the legal alternative is pay like $70/mo for an ad-infested service. Nobody is paying that.
Pay a ridiculous amount ($479 for a season of NFL Sunday Ticket right now) and still maybe not be able to watch the game due to blackouts. Or this one is on ESPN. Or this one is on Amazon. Can't watch this one just because fuck you. This one is in London and requires a subscription only accessible in one county of England.
