It's just as easy to pay a monthly fee for Netflix, etc.... than it is to pay for a VPN (and properly use it, a small mistake outs your IP) to avoid being sued for torrenting.

Now... back in the Megaupload's heyday, things were a bit different. Lots of content, little danger.

Personally I buy most of my content :) especially any program that I actually make money using.

Netflix has a poor selection, poor quality, poor playback controls, poor filtering (audio/video, like audio normalization or brightness controls), terrible subtitles and subtitle support (half the shows seem to have ALL CAPS subtitles for some crap reason). Oh, and if you travel, the site's UI starts flipping into multiple languages and subtitle selection gets worse.

And, there's no apparent way to force Netflix into HD. It's usually pretty good about it, but I'd prefer to just wait a few minutes first and know I'm set. Netflix can be convenient, but searching on a torrent site, click magnet, click OK, click stream is also fairly easy and eliminates the above mentioned problems.
