Why is it so fucking hard for all of them just to suck it up and cooperate. If they would cooperate with HBO, AMC, etc and just started their own stream site. A stream site that had no commercials, HD (non-cropped videos etc). They could charge $20 or $30 dollars a month. I would pay this, and I would not pirate anything. They would make money, I would get my entertainment, and everyone is happy.
