I left my bootlegging days behind ...

  I have a Netfilx account and yet torrent all their stuff because I watch on my monitor and can't stand watching videos on a browser. I don't watch Youtube on a browser either. Using stuff like Radarr/Sonarr/Jackett/... makes for a higher quality experience.

    How is watching a movie or a clip in a browser on full screen not highest possible quality experience? What is gained from not watching in a browser?

      Some examples are: - A lot less CPU intensive - Offline watching - Not limited to one system (especially for some quality versions) - Audio only - Easy bookmarking - Every option a good video player can offer, from Audio/Video/Subtitles tweaking And so many more.

    If you use Windows, Netflix has a native Windows app that uses hardware decoding and DRM so you get both less CPU/battery usage and higher resolution.

  Time for moonshine again then, because you're not getting it any other way. I work in TV and Film industry (also in Europe) and there's just no way, no service, which will give you things you're after. Probably all of my peers pirate, it's the way it is. I even pirate my own content, because it's more convenient then asking for a master copy and getting it from the archive. No one loses any money out of it. Industry knows that. Netflix did damage to the industry and to themselves though. Lynda Obst talks about it here (how Netflix did damage): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_oHW31jQfg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_oHW31jQfg I wrote, in detail, several times here why Netflix and similar will never (in foreseeable future) crack the code with their business model in this industry. And no, you can't draw analogies with music and games. It's a vastly different business, even though it might seem it's not.
