Getting more and more tempting over here. I am tired of my monthly video bills going higher and higher just to watch a couple of shows I like.

I used to pirate a lot but I just ended up finding a streaming site to watch the <b>5</b> or so <b>movies</b> that I like <b>to</b> watch. Just make sure to wear your internet condoms (VPN, Ublock, Ghostery)
That is still piracy: you are knowingly taking part in unlicensed distribution. The networks don't care if you are downloading for later watching or streaming live, they just care if you are paying or not.
Uploading is a criminal offense. Downloading is just civil (for now, that is).
I've been pirating since age 11. You can have it set up so that it is essentially as easy as streaming netflix.
