    There’s mild risk in torrenting only because the upload side of torrenting is “sharing”.

    Practically speaking, if you aren’t financially profiting off piracy (like the guy you pay for your stream access), you are vanishingly unlikely to see any consequences for media piracy. And the methods to make you significantly safer are not a big leap.

    But streaming is sick. The difference between deciding you want something and then acquiring it is very different from an IPTV subscription where there’s just like 40,000 channels of shit streaming RIGHT NOW.
