I'm curious why someone who is able to afford 40TB of drive space is interested in piracy. Is it more about archiving and ownership than saving a buck?
I'm not the guy above, but I dont see how they're comparable really. One is god knows how many monthly subscriptions for the rest of time, or the up front cost of storage.
There's (almost) always the option to buy media on blueray or similar.
I'll speak for myself here – I watch on average a movie per day. Even if the Blu-Rays were $10, it would still cost me $3650/yr.
