If you're only seeing it once, sure. But if you want to watch it multiple times, you just have to find it once to get it the illicit way, and have to search "where to stream X" every time you want to watch the other, and it might change to something you don't have even in the middle of you watching the series, or even become unavailable entirely for awhile.

I almost exclusively use streaming services now, but it's still annoying to have to search what streaming service everything is currently on, and there are some older movies (been watching a lot of 80s movies I missed lately) in which there is no subscription service it's available, only pay $4+ to rent on Amazon Prime.
