As someone who was a teen in the early '00s when torrenting became quite mainstream, I was surprised to see it fall away entirely in favour of streaming services, despite the lack of ownership of the content, and needing to subscribe to multiple services to get the shows you wanted.

I never really stopped either, but as I got older and had more money, I find that I watch/listen to a fraction of the shows/bands I used to, so I'm happy to support them by purchasing digital assets (DRM-free MP3s) and physical (vinyl, DVD).

The DVDs will be ripped to my HDD; they are mine after all.
