I think the golden age of piracy ended when it became impractical for individuals to collect digital media. The streaming services deliver a convenience to consume anything, anywhere which is cost prohibitative for laypersons to replicate by other means.

So no - while I'm not opposed ethically, my family would be very frustrated with such a transition.

When was this? I have a 300mbs internet connection, cheap access to seedboxes and newsgroups, and I can buy a 15TB hard drive at Walmart.
