People who wanted to steal tv shows never stopped. It's an ethics thing, not a convenience thing.

I really don't think it's that simple. Ethics bend and break around inconvenience.

>>robert+(OP)
I absolutely stopped pirating due to the convenience of streaming.

Maybe I'm unusual, but I doubt it.

>>robert+(OP)
Very few people operate against ethics, virtually everyone considers convenience (or, in other words, non-tangible use cost).

>>robert+(OP)
Copyright infringement isn't theft.

And to say that it's just an ethics thing, is completely ignorant view. It's perfectly acceptable to torrent something when living in a country that wasn't deemed worthy by the rights holder to release their product there.

Music piracy took off because people wanted to consume mp3s but the music industry kept telling them they should use CDs instead.
