I feel we're entering a 2nd great renaissance of media piracy and torrent sites. Fair streaming services were a great solution. But for a variety of reasons that all has slowly been corrupted and become obtrusive. I've recently cancelled my Netflix account after subscribing for over 12 years. Private torrent sites are reporting a significant increases in active users.

As a South African, it is ridiculous to me that I cannot even legally buy or rent some films that were produced in South Africa, and is about South Africa.

I cannot recall the details now, but this has happened at least 3 times over the last couple of months.

This is driving people towards piracy again.
