I'm no fan of the companies involved, or their policies, or even copyright law as it stands, but I've gotten to a point where if something entertaining isn't worth the price, I just don't buy it. I have no "right" to watch a TV show that some monopoly is infringing upon.
We all have so many things competing for our time and money, take advantage of that. If Rick & Morty isn't worth $40 to you, spend that $40 and those 20 minutes on something of better value.
And yes, I still watch TV, though far less (2-4 hours/week) than I did before I adopted this thought process. And yes, I do watch, and pay for, Rick and Morty :D
