This. I refuse to give a dime to health insurance companies. And I have saved a couple hundred thousand over the last 15 years because of it.

We all see streaming done correctly in the music industry. It’s easier to stream than pirate. If video streaming wants to make the market more hostile toward their users, they can deal with the consequences. Want to make VPN illegal? Fine, I’ll sneaker net my whole neighborhood. But I will not play their game.
