&gt;  between iTunes, Amazon instant, YouTube rentals, Google Play, Microsoft Store and your cable provider the movie is probably a $2-$3 HD rental. $5-$6 if its just released.<p>That is part of the problem.
If I want to watch a movie, I&#x27;m gonna use the most convenient and easy method, because as most humans, I am lazy.<p>So I can either :<p>* find which service has the movie I want to watch<p>* create an account on it<p>* enter billing informations<p>* watch a DRMed movie<p>or i can<p>* find a torrent of the movie<p>* download it<p>So even not taking any notion of price into account, the piracy solution is far more convenient. There is a lot of friction with legal solutions.
