    Yes, this is why I'm not happy with Netflix. They became too big and now a lot of companies want a piece of the pie. They should have simply stayed a distributor of movies and series.

    I have always thought that the way to manage some of the torrenting is for the production companies to have a donate page where you can, without being hunted down and prosecuted, donate if you enjoyed a movie or series.

    The drop in torrenting as mentioned above indicates that there is a willingness to pay for content.

    Free to air has also created an environment where it is easier to torrent a series because the station starts, stops, moves and misses episodes.

    We have a long way to go before there is a workable legal option.

    Yes, I'm a huge fan of horror movies from the 80's and 90's, but you can't find those on the big streaming companies. In fact, you can't even buy them on DVD.
