And how do you repay them? By snatching it from the digital high seas, denying them the reward they rightfully deserve. It's like slapping a Deathclaw in the face and expecting it to thank you.

  1. They've already been paid so you're not snatching anything from them.

  2. You kind of assume that if someone hadn't pirated it then they'd have paid to see it. The reality I'd they'd probably not have watched it at all. I haven't watched the fall out show yet. Therefore I must also be "denying them the reward they rightfully deserve"

  3. The use of steaming was in the rise and piracy falling all through the 2010s. Why? Corporations were offering a good service at a good point. Over the last few years they've been making the services progressively worse and the price point progressively worse. The market has reacted and piracy has increased. Again you've fallen into thinking that if people didn't have the option to pirate they'd pay for the service to get the content, I however think that many just wouldn't consume the content at all.
