Regardless of how expertly the marketing campaign designed by highly trained creative types that literally do not care about you beyond discovering how to reach their message to you, you are capable of in fact just ignoring it, or carrying on your life. Not one of them is forcing you to purchase anything, merely hoping you will. In the process huge corporations that you don't normally like are subsidizing the creation of material you do, so you're paying personally for a SIGNIFICANTLY smaller segment of it's creation. 51> holy crap relax.

Sorry, but it really just isn't. Streaming stuff is - in my opinion - always better than P2P. More convenient, no seeding, less dangerous. Too bad it just doesn't work 'cause BitTorrent is way more efficient for every user and streaming is waaaay too inefficient. Hahaha, you call Stage6 more dangerous than P2P?

Streaming is at best useful for live content but I'm not interested in live content (sports?) anyway. Very often popular content can be downloaded faster than realtime playback time as long as it's still hot. So who cares about waiting 10-15 minutes if that actually guarantees 100% quality and no loss of sync. Streaming actually requires that you have very good internet connection and constant high throughput whereas downloading works even with the slowest access. Even better you can downloaded hours and days of entertainment in the background without utilizing all of your bandwidth.
