    Why expose yourself to legal risk by torrenting media (which involves uploading which is distributing) when you can find sites that stream it for you? Just go to Yandex and look up “blah stream” and you’ll find tons of sites streaming whatever you want.

    I do this because I’ve tried to watch movies with online friends but every major streaming service I tried won’t let me share my screen and stream. They all break somehow. I’m not sure if it’s intentional or what, but it doesn’t matter.

      Because streams can be janky and slow. Before I started torrenting, I would try to stream everything. It was hard to find good streams, and even when I thought I had found one, I’d still have shows pause and start stuttering during a critical moment in the story.
