      That’s the point of what they’re saying. If you’re only buying a subscription to the content then it’s not theft to get access to that content by other means.

        If you’re going to hang onto the files for the foreseeable future, there is a big difference. Streaming services only grang you access as long as you pay. You rent access from them. Just because you subscribe to Hulu doesn’t mean you own anything. iTunes is a different story.

        the point is that it’s incorrect

        You aren’t buying it so the rest of the sentence is irrelevant

        Like stealing from blockbuster because you can rent it vs the video bin at the department store

        Nothing wrong with piracy without being dishonest about it

          Ok, commercials on no add streaming services are akin to renting a beach house all for your fam but the landlord shows up and takes a giant dump in the only bathroom available
