This is one of the main questions I have. When I stream an (otherwise unavailable) episode of a show from an illegal site, I am paying someone, in some form. I'm looking at the ads hosted by the streaming site. I'm accepting the risk that these black-market sites will infect my computer with something. I'm taking the time to hunt down the episode I want in the first place - not an easy task, considering the general whack-a-mole game that goes on with these sorts of things.

In short, it feels like I've paid my due in time and attention, which is a way of paying for entertainment that's familiar - TV, radio, and legitimate online streaming sites are all ad-supported.

Leaving aside the questions of right and wrong, which have been amply debated elsewhere in this thread, it's a pity content providers don't get the message and offer viewers the opportunity to pay them in this coin, instead of having the profit for ad-views go to shady video-hosting and url-shortening sites.
