Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

Why is piracy costing you 4$ a month.

not everyone can torrent freely

I'd say piracy is not even free, if done right. I mean, you may want to support JDownloader, MediaFire, Mega, your VPN, and whatnot.

I'm not into piracy (wink), but if I did, I'd pay my monthly Plex subscription, MediaFire account, and tip JDownloader monthly for their effort.

I do pay a little for Usenet and my NZB indexer, about $115 per year all said and done. And I pay for hardware and electricity, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
