If pirating is easier than paying for it then why am I paying for it? Note I have been paying for Netflix, HBO, Amazon and one/off Hulu and Apple but they’re all pushing the limits and password sharing is the only way to make it worth it. If I can’t share the price (like sharing phone plans) then I won’t pay. I don’t want to pirate, I’m happy to pay them but there are limits.
