Re: That's all very well
I have often said: should Pirate Bay go legal, I would happily pay $25 - $30 per month for access to anything whenever I want it with no DRM. My needs are simple, an obscure TV show or movie for the flight, a book I already have in print, on my ebook reader, etc.
I do not have a huge collection of pirated stuff, but it does annoy me no end when Netflix (which I pay for, along with several other monthly subscriptions) doesn't have an old movie I want to watch. Fortunately, Pirate Bay has always come to the rescue.
