<i>So even not taking any notion of price into account, the piracy solution is far more convenient.</i><p>I&#x27;m not convinced by that argument.<p>It&#x27;s possible that for a technically-skilled user with everything set up correctly, that could be the case - but you&#x27;re exaggerating the scale of the difference for most users.<p>Let&#x27;s say you&#x27;re already a Netflix subscriber, for example; you want to watch a movie. It&#x27;s offered by Netflix. You open the app, select the movie and it starts playing. You want to watch it on your TV? You use your Apple TV&#x2F;Chromecast and it magically works. There&#x27;s no waiting for a download, no need to worry about the format or resolution, and no concerns about the legality of it.<p>The same applies to e.g. Amazon Prime, or iTunes, or whatever cable service you have available. It will probably work, probably won&#x27;t be a pain in the arse to setup, and won&#x27;t get you into any trouble with your internet provider.<p>&quot;Far more convenient&quot; is simply overstating it.
