I just don't really care about owning/possessing stuff, even if it's free and digital and takes up no physical space. When people talk about pirating, I just think "Man, that just sounds like work, and then I have to put the file somewhere." With the exception of a few special favorites, I don't even watch my modest DVD collection that often, anyway, so why bother having drives full of hundreds of movies and TV shows when I'm probably not going to watch most of them more than a few times over the rest of my life? (Digital isn't more permanent than physical anyway, since drives can crash and files can get corrupted and it can all go poof in a fire.) Why spend money on digital storage? I'd rather go to the library and stream stuff, thereby offloading the responsibility of maintaining everything to someone else. It might mean that I can't watch something right this very minute, but that was everyone's normal life until relatively recently, anyway.

The problem with legal streaming is the possibility that the company will decide that it's not worth streaming the thing anymore, and then the thing becomes impossible to watch legally.

It's worth acquiring things you know you will watch over and over, not worth amassing stuff on the off chance you might want to watch it someday.

1. Torrenting is extremely easy.
2. Some of us delete our downloads as soon as we've watched the thing; that's how easy torrenting is.
3. Digital storage is extremely cheap. I've been happily watching whatever I want for the last decade, and the storage on my laptop has always been sufficient. I've never needed extra.
4. The way I watch things is that I decide I want to watch a particular thing and then I watch it. I hate browsing. I don't want to watch just anything. I want to watch one thing specifically at any given time.
5. I'm not interested in going back to life before the internet made [thing] possible. The fact that [thing] is possible is a luxury. Why would I not enjoy it?
