I am in the french-speaking part of Canada.

In some Netflix shows, they say words in the english audio that are translated in French with different words with a similar meaning, and with english close-caption words that are also different from the original english audio.

Quite amazing.

My favorite example of bad Netflix subtitles is Suits (2011). The music during the intro is the same throughout the series, from the song Ima Robot - Greenback Boogie. The English subtitles for the lyrics are wrong every single season, and they're wrong in a different way for every one of those seasons. The lyrics are not at all hard to understand--they've pretty specifically cut together some of the lyrics that are easiest to understand--so it's extremely obvious, but somehow nobody at any point figured out that they could just do it right once and not look totally incompetent.

After the initial Netflix release of the first 3.5 seasons (might have been 4.5, it was a baffling cutoff) they somehow decided not to add the rest, so I pirated it. Every single pirated intro came with perfectly correct lyrics.

French part of Switzerland. Quite a few shows and movies, ie anime but also others, have original audio track (so lets say japanese for anime) and only german subs. You can probably count number of folks on your fingers and toes who would even be able, let alone willing to watch this in such combination from this region of meagre 2.2 million folks but quite rich on average.

So torrents it is, its legal here, lightning speed, always superb quality (one can choose any movie in range between 1GB and 50 GB for 1080p and all is very good looking), get it in a minute, and watch.

I don't blame Netflix generally (well for those german subs I definitely do, I know they have english ones just couldn't be bothered and I have hard time believing they have region issue with english subs) but license owners, they are the ultimate fuckers messing with content holders/resellers/renters, and consequently us users.

Also, torrents are so convenient, I won't be paying some service just to see a single show a year. I just won't even for a month and shuffle things like idiot, thats a bad proposition.

Downloading such content is not prohibited by law in Switzerland, thus legal. Uploading however is a different story. So stating that torrenting is legal is not actually true. Unless maybe you simply fake your upload.

That's the law in most countries.
