    Uh no. Any streaming service for $10+ will have limitations on what is on there. Piracy does not have those limitations.

        Streaming through apps has terrible quality most of the time based on their server loads etc. Even with fastest internet steaming from Disney+ quality is shit most of the time. When I am torrenting, i can get a high quality print and can watch it without any issue or buffering. It takes a few minutes to download a few gb’s. I am from a third world country and the internet here is so fast to download movies in 5 minutes max.

      It has other limitations, like worse quality for example. But actually the biggest limitation is shoddy subtitles. Yes, you can add subtitles, but they are often off (timing wise).

      I do like to watch movies and series in OV, but then switch on English subtitles when I’m watching alone, or German ones when I watch with family back home. Not an (easy) option with pirated movies :-/

        If you complain about quality of pirated content its clear you haven’t actually pirated much. 1080 or 4K is easy to get. I am not even torrenting.

        Subtitles, ok I give you that. You can always find a fitting one or just have to adjust timing but that is sometimes a bit of pain to find if it doesn’t come with the file.
