    Would it be possible for everyone to switch to piracy? Could the current piracy infrastructure support that? I’ve never actually considered that. Video is heavy.

    Of course, if that’s where we’re going as a society we’re going to need a new way to fund productions. That’s not a bad thing, the artificial scarcity model we have is dumb. Maybe state-funded agencies like the BBC could massively expand.

      I mean if everyone was using the same streaming or torrenting site probably not, but there are so many different sites to use that honestly I wouldn’t be surprised. If you do start pirating there are sites that are specifically for streaming shows, just make sure you have an adblocker or you’re gonna see a lot of porn ads. Also make sure to know what you’re downloading if torrenting, I’m not gonna get into the finer points on how to not get a virus or a cease & desist from your ISP if you go down that route, but there are plenty of details on that if you just look for it.
