Yeah cause our streaming platforms are shit due to how our licensing works and greedy companies being stupid. If I want to watch Rick and Morty I have to sign up for Stack tv which costs over 20 bucks a month while being LOADED with forced ads during broadcasts and has such a tiny library there's only one or two other shows I would even watch on the service.

Piracy is a service issue. I gladly pay for the few streaming services in my country that aren't a steaming dumpster fire.
