Haven't a lot of torrent sites gotten in trouble or implemented rules to mitigate against their sites providing content before the official release since they come out so fast and not always from official sources?

I've never heard of issues of having to wait any significant amount of time from an official release on the streaming companies.

Yea I've never seen a wait period after the official release either. This guy must be confused.

Torrenting is great but TBH I'm not going to waste my time setting up Sonarr/Radarr and maintaining tracker accounts to torrent stuff that I can watch through services I already have access to.

The reference was to new gear and new media both.

New gear usually needs time to marinate before it gets some hacking freedom.

New media is best ignored -- if you are always waiting with baited breath for 'the next new thing (TM)' they already have you and you will pay happily.

I personally ignore all new content and the odd time I want to see what's new there is more than enough waiting for me to download...

I'm not consuming every new song or film as they are released or even within a year of release because that is a waste of your attention and it's controlling you like a dog begging for treats.

The intention of the comment was -- if you just can't wait.. then pay your master. Seems you made your choice.
