With streaming services you have to pay and you don't own it, with torrents you only have to pay for internet fee and you'll own it forever.

Hotstar disney+ is still $20 a year here in se Asia. Netflix starts at $5/month ($3 for mobile only). Im super curious if these prices ever hit us. I have a feeling they'd just kill the services if they did.
