The quality of pirated movies is subpar and compatability with your streaming device is problematic which just doesnt work for try videophiles. I do however copy and compress my movies and stream them with my xbox 360 ,for convenience. I can scroll through and pick somehting ,plus if i change my mind a couple clicks and i can be watching something else.Burning blu ray is cost prohibitive ,but a bd drive to rip is relatively inexpensive. The end of physical media is definetly in sight. In canada rogers closed all its video stores.
